The founding principle of the Master of Arts in Transpersonal Psychology* is the recognition of the existence of a dimension to human nature greater than the individual. The basic philosophy is that connecting with this larger part of oneself is instrumental in heightening and invigorating creativity, health, and full human potential. Therefore, the curriculum in the Master’s program focuses on the nature of humanity, the nature of the universe, the nature of reality, and holistic living. This principle is expressed through twin goals. The program encourages students to test personally and to apply these core concepts in order to grow toward integration of body, mind, and spirit. The program also encourages students to transform the growth they experience into profound service to others.

This unique experience is available to those seeking profound personal growth and enrichment through Master’s level instruction. The academic program is designed to be an innovative learning experience that will not only expand the student’s vocabulary and knowledge in this field of study but will also work to augment various professional career paths.
