The Center for Spirituality and Healing and the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR) offer an integrated degree opportunity for eligible Health Science BS students interested in pursuing the MA in Integrative Health and Wellbeing Coaching (IHWC) degree. Students admitted to the Integrated BSHS/MA-IHWC sub-plan take 15 IHWC credits during their senior (fourth) undergraduate year and complete the MA-IHWC by taking the remaining credits as a full-time graduate student during their fifth year. Graduate courses cannot be applied toward both BS and MA credit and degree requirements. Admitted students must maintain timely degree progress to ensure that the BS degree is awarded no later than the end of the senior (fourth) year. The application deadline for the Integrated BSHS/MA-IHWC opportunity is the spring of the applicant's junior (third) year. Students should confer with their UMR coach and the IHWC program for application instructions.

Note that for this program students are not required to take any additional courses beyond those already required for the BSHS major. Students should consult with their UMR coach regarding recommended courses they should consider taking as electives.

The Integrated BS-Physical Activity and Health Promotion/MA-Integrative Health and Wellbeing Coaching (BS-PAHP/MA-IHWC) program lets you earn both a Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Health Promotion and a Master of Arts in Integrative Health and Wellbeing Coaching in five years. The MA-IHWC, approved by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching, prepares you for various professional settings with courses on coaching principles, health behavior change, mind-body science, trauma-informed mental health, leadership, and more. In this program, you'll complete your BS coursework and 16 MA credits in your fourth year, then finish the remaining MA credits in your fifth year. To stay on track, you must follow the program's schedule and apply for the sub-plan in the spring of your junior year, consulting with your advisor for guidance. BS-PAHP courses are mainly on-campus, while MA-IHWC courses are online and synchronous along with two required weekends on campus in year 1.
