Veterans Administration Approval

Arizona Holistic Institute of Healing Arts is not approved by the State Approving Agency (SAA) to enroll veterans and other eligible persons. Although the Professional Massage Therapy program along with all of our Aesthetics programs was approved by SAA for Veterans Education to be conducted at the main campus located at 2850 E Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ, it is not approved by SAA for Veterans Education to be conducted at the new location at 4940 E Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ.

Per the federal regulations code 38 CFR § 21.4251 Minimum Period of Operation Requirement for Educational Institutions, our new location must be operational for 2 years before receiving SAA approval. We expect to receive SAA approval sometime in 2026. Our Aesthetics programs conducted at the main campus are approved for Chapters 33, 30, 35, 32, 1606, and 1607.
