Degree Program Overview

"I have taken online courses before, but the IMHS degree program has a professional college-level academic feel to it and it is just as good, if not better than sitting in a university classroom.... I priced and looked at a few other online degree programs, and I have to say this is the best you will find, and especially for the tuition cost, you are getting far more value than any other metaphysics program on the Internet. For those who may not have a good understanding of metaphysics, and for those who think they wrote the book on the topic, there is something for everyone here at the Institute." —Dr. Steve G., Virginia

How the IMHS Accelerated Degree Program Works

The Institute of Metaphysical Humanistic Science Degree Program is administered under the direction and tutelage of Dr. Douglas Kelley who has researched and taught human development for nearly four decades. He is the author of scores of courses, books, audios, and concepts on a variety of metaphysical topics. Dr. Kelley has designed the IMHS Degree Program especially for busy people who want the knowledge and degree, but who simply cannot spend several years in getting it (as is normally required).

Our metaphysical degree program is simple; we have streamlined it by offering Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees in an accelerated format to save you time and money thereby allowing you to use your knowledge and degree much faster than usual. If you complete just two courses per month, you will complete your entire doctoral degree in six months. Or, you can complete up to three courses per month (time permitting) and earn your degree in four months. Or, you can take up to three years if you wish.

1. Start with Your Metaphysics Bachelor's Degree

Begin your metaphysics degree program with the Bachelor's Degree courses which lays a critical foundation in metaphysical philosophy and practical life-skills that are crucial to your area of specialization regardless of which one you choose. These courses in the Bachelor's Program are some of the most life-changing courses in our catalogue! To graduate, complete Courses MHs.B1 through MHs.B5 from the Course Catalogue. Once you graduate with your Bachelor's Degree in Metaphysics, you will receive your digital Diploma (PDF) and can put the letters "MHs.B" after your name.

 

Only interested in a Bachelor's Degree in Metaphysics? No problem! Simply stop here. However, you will not be certified to practice any specialization. To get certified, complete your Master's degree.

2. Continue with Your Metaphysics Master's Degree

Continue your metaphysics degree program by choosing your area of specialization (see further below) and completing seven more courses from the Course Catalogue that continue your metaphysical education as well as focus on your chosen area of specialization. Courses MHs.M1 through MHs.M3 are required for all specializations and must be completed before other master's courses. Additional courses may also be required depending on your chosen area of specialization. See the specific specialization page on this website or in the Student Prospectus for specific course requirements. Most specializations allow for some electives. Once you graduate with your Master's Degree in Metaphysical Humanistic Science, you will receive your digital Diploma (PDF) and will be certified to practice in your chosen area of specialization (a Master's Degree is the equivalent of certification). In addition to ordination in the MCHS Church (legally required to obtain your metaphysics master's and doctoral degrees), you will also receive an Ordination Credential (PDF), a Practitioner's Certificate (PDF; for metaphysical practitioners), Letter of Good Standing (PDF), a digital download with various blank marriage and other certificates for your use, and you may put the letters "MHs.M" after your name. Those specializing in hypnosis may also put "CH" (Certified Hypnotist) after their name. Those specializing in Paranormal Science/Parapsychology may also put "CPI" (Certified Paranormal Investigator) after their name. Those specializing in Life Coaching or Spiritual Counseling may also put "CLC" (Certified Life Coach) or "CSC" (Certified Spiritual Counselor) after their name, respectively. Printed versions of the certificates above are sent with your doctoral degree documents.

 

Only interested in a Master's Degree or Certification in Metaphysics? No problem! Simply stop here. However, why settle for a master's when you can have a doctorate?

3. Complete Your Metaphysical Education with an IMHS Metaphysics Doctoral Degree

To complete your studies, you have the option of either completing a doctoral course assignment or submitting a dissertation consisting of between 5,000 and 10,000 words on a topic related to your area of specialization. Once you graduate with your Doctoral Degree in Metaphysical Humanistic Science, you will receive both printed and PDF versions of your Doctoral Diploma, Ordination Credential, Practitioner's Certificate (if applicable), Letter of Good Standing, clergy ID card and ID badge (with holder and lanyard), clergy dashboard parking sign, and a CD with various blank marriage and other certificates for your use. You will also be able to put your choice of one of several designations after your name including "MHs.D," "PhD," "D.Min," or "DD," and can be called "doctor." Purchase a nice frame and you will have an elegant credential to grace your wall.

Bonus: All degree program students will receive a complimentary lifetime membership in the International Metaphysical Practitioners Association (IMPA). IMPA is a professional association of metaphysicians that will enhance your credibility. You can also interact with others as well as share ideas and accomplishments.
