Astrology Education
Kepler College provides a complete educational program in astrological studies that includes all of the benefits of a traditional college education: communication skills, problem-solving skills, the ability to weigh alternatives and think on one's feet. It offers possibilities for combining astrology with other professions, including business, psychology, research, financial planning, science, teaching.

Online College of Astrology provides courses designed specifically to guide students on the path to becoming fully qualified professional astrologers -- from the beginner level, through achieving certification from one of the astrological organizations, to training in specialized subjects. Courses are offered online and are oriented towards the serious student of astrology.

Dr. J. Lee Lehman, Ph.D., Academic Dean of Kepler College, offers her own Classical Studies Courses—separate from Kepler. If you are interested in learning the tools for natal delineation, horary, electional, mundane, medical and gaming astrology—all from a classical perspective (from the 17th century back to ancient times), then Lee's rigorous courses cannot be beat. Be prepared to work hard and learn deeply, and then apply what you've learned to 21st century, real-life situations. The background you gain from this level of study is profound. You will become knowledgeable about the history and use of astrology from ancient times to the present, and gain the understanding of why you use particular techniques and not others; you will become a truly educated astrologer.
