"This is not for sissies. If you are serious about expanding your body of knowledge, then the completion of an APU doctorate will fit the bill. It's tough slogging, and you have to be dedicated to staying on track. I love the fact that beyond the core courses, I was able to dig deeper into my own subjects of interest. I recommend this program highly."

"For years I had wanted to study and do the work for my Ph.D. degree, but my perception of the programs offered at many of the universities was that they were very old, tired, and stale in their educational content. American Pacific University allowed me to study both traditional forms of therapy, as well as the most current, highly-successful therapies that the traditional universities normally will not offer. I recommend this Ph.D. program to anyone who wants to learn more about what forms of therapy are the most effective ones NOW, instead of just learning more about the therapies that were proven to be effective more than 40 years ago."

“There were many things I like about the program. To name a few I liked the go-at-your-own-pace, type of learning environment I found that to be most productive and efficient. I also liked the freedom of being able to express my thoughts about a particular subject, instead of the traditional expectation of regurgitating thoughts. I also like the fact that at any point in time during the program help and direction was available by e-mail, and my questions were answered within hours. This made asking questions easy and made me feel more comfortable. I enjoyed the sheer growth of learning and opening up my mind to new facts, theories and thoughts. The personal growth and knowledge that I gained through the program is the one thing I’ve enjoyed the most.”

“I appreciate the flexibility offered by this program, especially the ability to choose the courses that I felt would be of most value to me in my hypnotherapy career. Distance learning is a new experience for me, and, although there were times when I believe I could have learned better in a didactic situation, I was readily able to grasp most of the material. I did find that putting these ideas into practice with clients reinforced the learning, and gave me valuable experiences. Writing papers is a good way to reinforce learning for me, and with the wise and thoughtful comments of my faculty advisor (Dr. Alex Docker), I think I have internalized a lot of useful material. This program is an excellent value for the money I invested, and I feel much more competent as a hypnotherapist having taken these courses. Additionally, being able to complete some credits by taking seminars (both within and outside of APU) was of great value, and gave me some of the didactic experiences I wanted.“

“I have been extremely busy during the past year for which I thank AIH. Last year I was approached by the South African operation of AT&T who wanted a stress management program for their staff. Thanks to the excellent material that I've received from you over the years, which served as a valuable reference, I was able to write a programme that was very well received indeed. So much so, that I (have) been inundated by requests from companies, big and small, who want their staff to attend this stress management programme. This has been keeping me very busy. Without the course material from AIH, I would not have been able to do this. Thank you. You are one of the best investments I've ever made! Now, more than ever, I need to complete this degree.“

During my Doctoral degree, I was surprised that what appeared to be a monumental task soon became an interesting, enlightening and pleasurable endeavor. The core courses were stimulating and well chosen, and there was enough variety in the elective assignments to suit any predilection. Support was always available when needed, and that helped me complete a dissertation of which I was proud.
