Completion of Courses, Certificates & Degrees

The PNC Climate Therapy spiritual ecology certificate and degree track is unified by the Greatest Trustable Truth, (GTT) validating that from the moment of their life’s conception to the present moment, a student’s life is creating their written GTT autobiography.

This substantiates their hypothesis that
“By learning, applying and teaching the GTT organic science process, my autobiography and energies demonstrate that I can uniquely improve my own and other’s lives and credibly increase personal social and environmental well-being”

Student Comments About AU

​"As we engage in discussion to address the global challenges created in health during the pandemic, I believe that my studies have positioned me in a solid position to build relationships, to find new pathways to help others, and to bring more clarity and power to the programs offered at Akamai University."

The distance education model allowed me to work one-on-one with the instructors and effectively streamline the courses to fit my teaching situation, experience and interests.

I have discovered that Akamai’s program has the same qualities as other accredited colleges, and the knowledge level is equally high.

Akamai's instructional methods focus on teamwork and discussion of the matters concerned.

I am really impressed by the contacts I have had with the professors working with me at the moment.  I have not regretted my choice of this university.

Most helpful at Akamai was the availability of the professors. I received personal attention and guidance.
