The Master of Arts in Transpersonal Psychology program at Atlantic University is an interdisciplinary exploration of human experience, combining insights from psychology, philosophy, science, art, and religious studies. This program encourages personal growth, and integration of body, mind, and spirit, and aims to inspire students to use their knowledge to serve others.
Transpersonal psychology seeks to blend critical and contemplative thinking. The transpersonal researcher maintains a fundamental appreciation for the value of human experience itself as meaningful data. Ultimately, transpersonal psychology is the investigation of ourselves and our world from the orientation of several assumptions. Whereas traditional education has viewed the student mind as a “blank slate,” the transpersonal approach calls upon the educator to help the student find the wisdom that already resides within.
