Our two-year, 45 unit distance learning Master’s Degree in Transpersonal Psychology offers you an exciting opportunity to study the theories and practices of transpersonal psychology, transformational life coaching, transpersonal wellness, creativity, or spiritual psychology. The MTP program is designed for transformative learning, integration of transpersonal and wisdom principles, and personal and professional application.

Students may choose from four dynamic specializations.

The Master’s program attracts educators, health care professionals, business leaders, organizational developers, therapists, alternative practitioners, entrepreneurs, and cultural creatives who wish to find more expansive ways to enhance your current profession or explore and engage in new career possibilities that embrace the principles of transpersonal psychology.

This program emphasizes transformational learning and realization of our higher human potentials. The curriculum is intellectually rigorous, yet transformative, and expansive. Creativity, diversity, world wisdom psychology, ecological consciousness and multiple ways of knowing are valued. You will also learn in fully embodied ways that honor your own uniqueness.

Whole-person, Transformational Learning

The MTP program admits students who have an intellectual capacity to balance theory with practice, who find authentic ways to study and apply the material, who have the emotional maturity and discipline to work within a learning community structure that relies upon personal integrity and mutual respect, and who have the self discipline to study at a distance.

Our approach to learning promotes whole-person, transformational learning. It encourages professional engagement with local or academic communities and appeals to students who find value in creative expression, transpersonal practice, contemplative reflection, and scholarly thinking. You will find community within an academic context and use this learning as a catalyst for transformation within yourself, your community, and your profession.

Distance learning provides students with flexible study time to apply what is learned in their home lives, their current work situations, and in the community where they live.
