Residential Master's in Transpersonal Psychology
ITP’s Master's in Transpersonal Psychology is a two-year course of study designed for adult learners eager for an intimate educational environment, personal transformation, and preparation for becoming agents for change. The program's professional objective is to develop open and compassionate graduates whose knowledge of transpersonal practices, scholarly arts, and relational skills prepare them for 1) doctoral level study, 2) enhancement of their current career path, and/or 3) a change of professional direction.
The Transpersonal Psychology program is designed to foster a community of learning that cultivates dialogue and an exchange of ideas. Faculty and students together explore new paradigms of learning, community, spirituality, creativity, and awareness. Personal experience is highly regarded and forms the basis by which students critique psychological theories and models.
Program Highlights
- Transpersonal Scholarship. Students are introduced to scholarship that both informs and transforms; and spans intellectual understanding, emotional intelligence, embodied knowing, and spiritual insight.
- Optional Specializations. For students wanting to focus their study in a particular area of transpersonal psychology, the program offers a choice of three specializations: Creative Expression, Transpersonal Education & Research (TERS), and Transformational Life Coaching.
- Integrated Program Design. The program is designed to prepare students for doctoral level study, in either ITP’s on-campus or on-line Ph.D. program. In addition, the TERS specialization supports students interested in applying to doctoral programs at other schools.
- Experiential Learning. Students will engage in experiential learning practices that embrace whole-person activities: group activities, applied learning, individual creative and reflective processes, and dynamic classroom interaction with world-class faculty.
- Program Flexibility. The program is structured to allow flexibility of course load and hours of attendance. Students have the choice of taking only the required classes (7 or 8 units per quarter) and being on campus as little as one evening and one full day per week or registering for as many as 11 units per quarter, enjoying our rich elective course offerings, specializations, and any or all campus services and events.
Fields of Application
The education, personal development, and skills gained in the program can be applied to such fields as health care, education, community services, social activism, training and development, and consultative work in both the corporate and public sectors.
