No. We do not offer a college degree. The Energology Institute℠ awards a diploma stating your completion of the rigorous program of study in Energology℠.
While it is possible to offer a non-accredited degree, we prefer not to do this, as it can be problematic for many of our students who already have degrees in other areas such as medicine, nursing, psychology, physical therapy, etc. People with degrees from an accredited institution are often prohibited by their professions to claim additional degrees from unaccredited universities, whereas, a diploma may be claimed by anyone. This works better for those students who are already involved in the healthcare industry.
We also have many students who have not attended college, and they do very well in our programs as well. Compared with college degree programs, our training program does not require “gen-eds” (general education courses), which normally take two years to complete before you can even get into your core area study. The Energology Institute℠ allows you to focus right away on the study of energy healing.
Rather than awarding degrees such as Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate, we offer three Energology℠ diplomas for the Professional, Master, and Grandmaster Energology℠ programs.
Since “doctor” is a title derived from a graduate degree (e.g., ‘medical doctor’), we do not use the term “doctor.” However, our diploma for Grandmaster Energologist℠ is similar to getting a doctorate in energy healing. In the Western model, one gets the masters degree, and then later becomes a doctor. We feel the Asian model makes more sense for our program—where one becomes a doctor, and after many more years of experience, is called a master. Therefore, in the Energology℠ system, you become a professional healer first (akin to a doctor), then with additional training, you become a master energy healer. Those students who go on to complete the highest level of training are referred to as Grandmaster Energologists℠. In the Energology field, Grandmasters are specialists. We award three diplomas: Professional Energologist℠, Master Energologist℠, and Grandmaster Energologist℠.
