Ayurveda is a form of Traditional Medicine that originated in India 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda means “the science of life” in Sanskrit. Learn how to apply this natural and holistic system to treat the mind, body, and spirit.
Ayurvedic healing involves balancing doshas, which are energies derived from the elements (air, water, fire, earth, and space) that govern body functions. The optimal state of health is achieved when doshas are balanced in their natural proportions.
Our Level I program is both an educational journey and personal transformation with a multitude of professional opportunities for graduates. We focus on Ayurvedic preventive care. You will grow as a natural medicine healer. We teach you how to empower others to lead healthier and happier lives through Ayurvedic guidance on diet, lifestyle, basic rejuvenating herbs and spices, bodywork therapies, basic yoga, and meditation practices.
The Ayurvedic Educators program teaches graduates how to assess an individual’s body constitution for doshas (natural energy), agni (digestive fire/transformatory energy), dhatus (tissues), and malas (waste products) with traditional Indian medicine.
You can balance your studies and other obligations. There are both full-time and part-time study options, with classes offered during weekday evenings and on select weekends. Learning includes weekday online interactive (set class time), weekend on-campus classes, and clinical education.
This program introduces the student to the concepts and principles of Ayurvedic Herbology and pharmacology. The course will impart knowledge about how to prepare, and use common Ayurvedic herbs along with basic pharmaceuticals for health promotion and wellness care and will also provide instruction on diet, yoga, lifestyle recommendation, therapies, herbs, and spices for health promotion and wellness care.
Students participate in a supervised clerkship at the SCU University Health Center. The University Health Center provides care to over 25,000 patients per year and is equipped with an expansive herbal pharmacy, diagnostic imaging, and an electronic health record system.
SCU’s model of experiential learning in interprofessional settings combines learning alongside other healthcare disciplines, coursework, clinical experiences, community engagement, and campus clubs.

I chose SCU because I met Dr. Anu and saw her give her beautiful speech about the Ayurveda program, and she led us all through yoga. I knew from that day that SCU was for me. The clinic was the best part of the program because you get to see everything we're learning inside the classroom, all the theories and the principles applied in real life. You get to see the patients' lives turn around, their body pain goes away with the body treatments and the herbs, and you get to see them making these dietary changes and lifestyle changes. The other aspect of the Ayurveda program at SCU that I enjoyed was the hands-on approach, and that's not only in the clinic where we get to work with patients hands-on but also in the classroom setting.
I chose SCU because it focuses on integrative health, which is important to me. I wanted to be part of a program that focuses on looking at these traditional forms of medicine, bringing them forward into the modern present-day, and finding ways to utilize them with other practitioners. So, I think one of the most incredible things here at SCU is the teachers' focus on the tradition of Ayurveda but also on how to bring it into the modern medical world.
"There are a lot of things that I love about the program at SCU. The first one is that the faculty come from a long line of Ayurvedic knowledge deeply rooted in ancient classical text. They studied Ayurveda, but they also lived it. When you learn from people who embody this wisdom, it's much easier to grasp this knowledge. The second thing I love is the camaraderie within the cohort. The combination of the training, supportive faculty, and the support of my peers and classmates has given me the confidence I need to start my own practice."
Students seeking reasonable accommodations or support services while enrolled at SCU can do so through the Student Services Office (SSO). We encourage you to register with SSO as early as possible to allow sufficient time for the approval and notification process.

March is National Nutrition Month, which promotes the importance of making informed food choices and developing healthy eating habits. Along with a balanced diet, taking vitamins and supplements can also improve overall health. While there are many options available, if I could only choose three, they would be Omega 3 fish oil, Vitamin D, and Magnesium. These three vitamins offer a range of benefits, from improving brain function to reducing inflammation and supporting bone health.
