The holistic approach, although relatively new to formal college study, has deep roots in Western and world cultures. A holistic education recognizes that the emotions, soul, and spirit are educable and as important for human development and meaning as is the education of the intellect and moral sense. Spirituality, for this reason, has a home in holistic studies. The holistic approach is also characterized by interdisciplinarity, a concern with qualitative and quantitative analysis, and the inclusion of nontraditional content from different cultures and traditions. Used wisely, the holistic approach can be a powerful critical and synthetic tool. Students often undertake holistic studies because they aim to do graduate work in transpersonal psychology, acupuncture, homeopathy, movement therapy, and other expressive therapies.
