Laurel, MD - Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH), a national leader in the education and practice of integrative medicine, health, and wellness, is proud to announce a record-setting enrollment for its Fall 2018 term.

On September 2, 2018, MUIH welcomed its largest group of new enrollments in the University’s history with 326 new enrollments, which is a 5.5 percent increase from the school’s prior largest intake in 2016. These new enrollments join 840 students who are continuing their studies at MUIH, for a total student body of 1,166.

"Maryland University of Integrative Health continues to be a top choice for individuals who wish to pursue integrative healthcare careers, and demand remains strong across all of our programs as indicated by our record fall enrollment," said Dr. Steven Combs, President and CEO of MUIH. "These figures are also testament to efforts from across the University to ensure that MUIH continues to be accessible, relevant, and well-positioned to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals.”
