KISSED University of Healing Arts & Sciences
Professional Programs

Structured pathways toward a professional credential

Each program belongs to a College and combines academic study with the applied, clinical or independent work appropriate to its discipline. Programs that require them conclude with a comprehensive Final Exam and a Capstone before a certificate of completion is awarded.

Program

A credential pathway made up of several courses, with its own admissions, academic sequence and completion requirements.

Individual Course

One course studied on its own. No application and no program commitment where it is published as individually available.

Continuing Education

Focused study for practitioners and graduates, carrying CE hours where the offering states them.

Workshop / Clinical Intensive

Hands-on and applied learning, completed on the dates the University makes available.

A KUHAS program is a structured pathway toward a professional credential. Depending on the discipline, a program may include online theory, applied assignments, examinations, clinical or hands-on training, independent projects and professional development — and where the program requires them, a comprehensive Final Exam and a Capstone must both be passed before a certificate of completion is awarded.

Not every program contains every component. Each program page states its own College, format, start conditions, credential outcome, tuition and admissions requirements, and those published values are the authoritative ones. Where a value has not yet been established by the University, it is left off the page rather than estimated.

Level II - Clinical Trichology Residency™
Certificate of Clinical Trichology Residency
College of Trichology Science

Level II - Clinical Trichology Residency™

The Clinical Trichology Residency™ is the Level II applied clinical pathway within the College of Trichology Science at KISSED University of Healing Arts & Sciences. Designed for students who have completed foundational trichology theory through the Certified Scalp Scientist™ program or approved equivalent education, the Residency bridges academic knowledge with practical clinical application. Students develop competency in professional consultation, clinical intake, microscopic hair and scalp analysis, documentation, clinical reasoning, supportive protocol development, herbal trichology applications, therapeutic scalp modalities, technology-assisted wellness assessment, client education, scope of practice, professional referral, and clinical operations. Applied study includes microscopic hair and scalp analysis; microneedling principles and safety; low-level light/laser therapy; high-frequency therapy; scalp stimulation and rejuvenation; herbal scalp detoxification; herbal infusion therapy; biocommunication and wellness scanning; KCIS clinical software; clinical documentation; case management; cranial prosthesis and non-surgical hair replacement; and foundational education regarding professional credentialing and insurance-related processes for applicable hair replacement services. Students may complete the Clinical Trichology Residency through an approved online clinical pathway or scheduled in-person clinical residency. Both pathways are designed around defined learning outcomes and competency requirements, although specific hands-on activities, equipment access, demonstrations, and assessment methods may vary by delivery format. Completion of Level II does not require students to repeat Level I coursework. Students who successfully complete both Level I — Certified Scalp Scientist™ and Level II — Clinical Trichology Residency™ satisfy the core academic and clinical components of the Level III Certified Clinical Trichologist™ pathway, subject to completion of the University's applicable culminating credential requirements.

Level III - Certified Clinical Trichologist™

The Certified Clinical Trichologist™ program is the complete professional trichology certification pathway within the College of Trichology Science at KISSED University of Healing Arts & Sciences. Designed for students who know from the beginning that their goal is to become a Clinical Trichologist, Level III combines the University's foundational trichology education and applied Clinical Trichology Residency into one comprehensive program. The Level III curriculum consists of the complete requirements of Level I — Certified Scalp Scientist™ and Level II — Clinical Trichology Residency™. It is not an additional academic level that students must complete after Levels I and II. Students may reach the same academic outcome by completing Levels I and II separately or by enrolling directly in the complete Level III program. Students begin with the scientific and theoretical foundations of trichology, including hair and scalp science, anatomy and physiology, the history and professional development of trichology, herbal science, psychosocial considerations related to hair loss, quantitative and formulation concepts, and integrative wellness considerations. Students then progress into applied clinical training through the Clinical Trichology Residency™, developing competency in professional consultation and assessment, microscopic hair and scalp analysis, clinical documentation, supportive scalp modalities, microneedling principles and safety, low-level light/laser therapy, high-frequency therapy, scalp stimulation and rejuvenation, herbal scalp detoxification and infusion therapies, biocommunication and wellness assessment technologies, KCIS clinical software, case management, cranial prosthesis, non-surgical hair replacement, and foundational insurance and professional credentialing processes applicable to hair replacement services. The Clinical Trichology Residency may be completed through an approved online clinical pathway or scheduled in-person clinical residency, allowing students to select the delivery method appropriate to their circumstances while satisfying defined program competencies. Students who previously completed Level I at KISSED University do not need to purchase or repeat the complete Level III program. They may complete Level II, after which the University recognizes completion of the Level I + Level II requirements toward the Certified Clinical Trichologist™ credential. Successful completion of all required Level I and Level II coursework, clinical requirements, comprehensive assessment requirements, and applicable culminating requirements establishes eligibility for the Certified Clinical Trichologist™ credential following Registrar review and issuance. Graduates may subsequently pursue Level IV — Doctor of Trichology Science™ or other advanced professional opportunities for which they meet applicable admission requirements.

Level IV - Doctor of Trichology Science™
Doctor of Trichology Science™ (DTS)
College of Trichology Science

Level IV - Doctor of Trichology Science™

The Doctor of Trichology Science™ (DTS) is the highest academic and professional pathway offered through the College of Trichology Science at KISSED University of Healing Arts & Sciences. Designed for experienced trichology professionals seeking advanced expertise beyond clinical certification, the program develops higher-level competency in trichological science, complex case analysis, research literacy, evidence-informed practice, clinical leadership, education, program development, professional consultation, and the advancement of the trichology profession. The program moves beyond foundational and clinical practitioner preparation into advanced scholarly and professional application. Students examine complex hair and scalp concerns through interdisciplinary perspectives involving trichological science, anatomy and physiology, nutrition and wellness, psychosocial considerations, environmental and cosmetic influences, research evidence, professional ethics, and collaborative care. Students learn to critically evaluate scientific and professional literature, translate evidence into responsible trichology practice, develop advanced clinical and educational frameworks, evaluate outcomes, contribute to professional knowledge, and provide leadership within trichology-related organizations, educational environments, clinics, and professional communities. Rather than completing a traditional dissertation, DTS candidates complete a Doctoral Trichology Innovation Project addressing a meaningful problem, opportunity, educational need, clinical process, professional practice issue, or advancement within the field of trichology. The project requires research-informed planning, development of an original professional product or solution, evaluation, and formal presentation. Successful completion of all coursework, the Doctor of Trichology Science™ Comprehensive Examination, and the Doctoral Trichology Innovation Project leads to the Doctor of Trichology Science™ (DTS) credential awarded by KISSED University of Healing Arts & Sciences. The DTS is an institutional professional/academic credential in trichology and does not confer medical licensure, physician status, or authorization to diagnose or treat disease.
