Distance Learning Program
SunDology is a four-semester master’s degree program in which students are enrolled in a distance learning program (via Hancock University) that includes both online courses and face-to-face instruction. Contact hours are completed during a three-day residential conference which occurs once a semester.
Guidelines of Study
Students will discover Eastern philosophy through comparative studies among SunDo and other Asian self-cultivation practices while preserving and developing the unique characteristics of SunDo. Students will establish scientific and systemic theory in SunDology that may possibly combine Western psychology and/or health studies with an Eastern SunDo perspective of personal development and natural health management.
