IBE was granted a conditional non-accredited and degree program license by the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education (AZPPSE) on August 25, 2022.  The license was upgraded to provisional license in September 2023. The license legally authorized IBE to offer a Master of Science in Regenerative Earth Management and a Master of Arts in Integrative Brain Management in the state of Arizona and vocational programs.

 

MISSION AND DESCRIPTION:

IBE Mission Statement:

The mission of the Institute of Brain Education is to cultivate students with a profound understanding of global citizenship and empower students to create positive change for the well-being of humanity and the planet through in-person and quality distance educational offerings.

​

Areas of Special Focus:

​

Description of Institution:

Established in 2002 as a vocational school licensed by the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education, the Institute of Brain Education (IBE) initially focused on teaching healing arts. Over time, IBE expanded its offerings to include three vocational programs: Health Coaching, Massage Therapy Incorporating Position Therapy, and Integrative Energy Healing.

​​

Recognizing the surging demand for sustainable solutions and mindfulness practices, IBE responded by introducing two new Online master's degree programs: the Master of Arts in Integrative Brain Education and the Master of Science in Regenerative Earth Management.  In addition, IBE expanded vocational programs with Coexistence Life Coaching in 2023 and Integrative Brain Wellness Coaching, Healing Qigong Instructor, and Brain Education Instructor Level 1 in 2024. 

​

As society's interest in brain-focused mindfulness and wellness trainings in schools and businesses continued to grow, Integrative Brain Education evolved to encompass a broad range of subjects related to mindfulness, emotional well-being, and self-regulation, catering to this increasing demand.

​​

Similarly, in the face of heightened awareness regarding the climate crisis and the need for corporate responsibility, there arose a significant demand for professionals proficient in sustainable practices. The Master of Science in Regenerative Earth Management was designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable practices within various groups and organizations.

 

Through these program expansions, the Institute of Brain Education strives to meet the evolving needs of the community and contribute to a more mindful, sustainable, and responsible world.
