Your conditional admission offer is good for up to three semesters, during which time you must meet one of these requirements to begin your ASU experience.

Additional information
Patients come in all shapes and sizes, and so should the care they receive. There are many aspects of health and wellness, including the mind, body and spirit. One is not separate from another, but pieces of what make up the whole person. Integrative health focuses on a patient's well-being from a holistic perspective, applying both conventional and natural healing approaches as a collaborative model of care. A variety of health practices --- such as traditional Chinese medicine, herbal supplementation, physical medicine and acupuncture --- are explored to create a comprehensive, patient-centered approach for health and wellness.
Through innovative and interprofessional approaches in supporting diverse populations, students learn to differentiate the ethical, legal and practice standards of integrative health practitioners. Coursework and experiences include an emphasis on evidence-based practices and gaining an understanding of the historical and cultural foundations of the integrative health field.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Accelerated program options
This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in as little as five years. It is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
- Aging, MS

Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program.
