by Reviewer
In 2000, the program, begun by Drs. Myss and Shealy, was reorganized by Dr. Shealy and Drs. Ann and Bob Nunley and moved to South Dakota. At this time, the University program was placed under the auspices of Holos Institutes of Health, Inc. The first graduation ceremony was held in South Dakota in March of 2001. As its program of study evolved, the theological, historical, and spiritual aspects of health and healing became the organizing focus. To more clearly support this focus, in June of 2001 the University became Holos University Graduate Seminary, was re-located to Missouri, and was placed under the auspices of the International Science of Mind Church for Spiritual Healing. The church supports an ecumenical healing ministry. In July 2006, Holos University Graduate Seminary was fully accredited by the New Thought Accreditation Commission (www.newthoughtac.org).
