We do not offer scholarships at this time. We offer an extended payment plan that consists of a down payment of $1,900 at the time of application and then 10 monthly payments of $600. There are no finance charges associated with this plan.
I have completed many trainings in healing and spiritual work. Can this be applied to BBSH to make the program less than the 4 years?
All students start in Year-1 regardless of their prior trainings or experience. Each year builds upon the previous one so we are unable to fast track anyone.
I already have a Bachelor’s degree. Can I apply this to BBSH to make the training shorter?
We can review your transcript to determine if any of your general education courses are eligible for transfer credit. This will not make the program shorter as it is still a 4 year program. You just may need to take less of the general education online courses. (see the difference between the BS Degree and PS Diploma program below.)
What is the difference between the Professional Studies Diploma program and the Bachelor of Science Degree program?
The programs are exactly the same in terms of the resident training and distance learning. The BS degree has additional requirements: (1) 9 general education courses and (2) Anatomy and Physiology II, III, and IV. A&P I is eligible for transfer credit.
I would like to take the training online. Do you offer this option?
We do not have an online training option at this time.
What are the prerequisites to attend?
Students must be at last 18 years old and have a high school diploma or equivalent.
What is the registration deadline?
Early registration deadline is September 1st but you can register up to Class 1 start in October. There are distance learning modules due before this therefore we encourage you to enroll before Class 1.
If I can’t make the registration deadline is late enrollment possible?
Yes, we are able to enroll students into Class 2. Teachers will assist in providing missed information and the skills taught in Class 1. The tuition is the same.
How much time does it take to complete the homework?
The program is divided into two sections -- resident training and distance learning. Typically, a student spends 3–5 hours per week on the distance learning modules.
