About the College:
Created by a team of international faculty, this course was created specifically by Indian university ayurveda graduates with educational experience in India, as well as American-trained doctors teaching American students. The course has been further adapted to the educational standards of the United States, assisting students with state-specific credentialing issues so that they can practice what they learn. The course has also integrated common elements of the highest standard of medical education in the US, using case-based studies, some problem-based learning modules, presentations, and advanced audiovisual materials.
The course is designed to produce holistic health practitioners and clinicians as well as lifestyle counselors and complements any health professional licensing a student may already have earned. The twenty-four month course offers the highest level of ayurveda education and training available outside of India.
Sai Ayurvedic College is a private, post secondary degree-granting institution recognized by the Florida Department of Education and Florida Commission on Independent Education under the authority of Florida State Statutes, Section 1005.06. Sai Ayurvedic College teaches the principles and practices of Ayurveda, the ancient science of life. We provide authentic education in a supportive environment that encourages the integration of Ayurveda by individuals into their daily living and by health care professionals into their clinical practices. At Sai Ayurvedic College, we use the time-honored Vedic approach to education, teaching from an oral tradition based on personal growth through spirituality. The teacher shares knowledge and experiences that help the student learn the theory and practices of Ayurveda. Each student learns Ayurvedic principles and practices that, when integrated into their lifestyle, bring peace and balance to the body, mind and soul. We provide an environment in which the student can find the freedom to learn and make choices that promote self healing.
Individuals completing the first year of the 2-year program will be awarded the distinction of Certified Ayurvedic Health & Wellness Consultant.
Individuals completing both years of the 2-year program will be awarded the practitioner-level - Associate of Vedic Studies degree in Ayurveda.
Holders of an Associate’s degree in a related discipline will be awarded the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Studies degree and holders of an appropriate Baccalaureate degree will be awarded the Post-Graduate Diploma in Ayurvedic Studies.
Admissions:
- All applicants must hold a high school diploma, GED or meet alternative test requirements.
- All applicants must be fluent in verbal and written English. International students are advised that insufficient English skills may prohibit successful completion of the program.
Although not required, some prior knowledge or study of Ayurveda, anatomy and physiology, hatha yoga, Sanskrit and other Vedic traditions will greatly enhance the understanding and comprehension of the program material.
Admission with Advanced Standing (Direct Entry into Second Year): Students who are graduates of one year programs offered at another NAMA-approved ayurvedic institution may be permitted direct entry into our program’s second year upon presentation of an official transcript and satisfactory performance on a comprehensive assessment examination. Others with analogous training may be considered for direct admission to the second year program at the discretion of the College on an individual basis in special circumstances.
