To earn the four year KPDA diploma, Kepler College requires students to complete a final “Demonstration of Learning” project that includes research on an interesting or controversial astrological topic that can be proven with research.

Once the project is completed and approved by the advisor, the student has several choices to share the project results with the astrology community and build a good reputation for astrology in academic fields.

Research is digging into a narrowed topic to find information from other authors and researchers who support or refute a point of view that becomes a thesis statement. At that point new evidence is built to support the thesis with evidence through several tests of its validity. The conclusion is based on the verified research findings that will be shared with the astrology community.

Students doing this final required project for the Kepler Professional Diploma of Astrology will confirm they are:

• A well-trained and competent astrologer

• Confident that they are ready for clients
