Transpersonal Psychology Curriculum
 
 

Transpersonal Psychology is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the integration of Eastern and Western psychological and spiritual approaches. This field of study emerged from earlier tendencies within contemporary psychotherapy (Humanistic, Jungian, etc.). It recognizes the potential for experiencing a broad range of states of consciousness where one's identity extends beyond the usual limits of ego and personality. Students who select this field of inquiry can choose to teach and guide people in numerous modalities, become life coaches, conduct research, as well as realize profound self development.

Graduates of the program embark on both traditional and nontraditional careers. By being responsive to the spiritual as well as the physical and mental dimensions they are in a unique position to address many of our contemporary problems. This enables them to become more evolved human beings, parents, spouses, artists, therapists, athletes, educators, healers, and workshop leaders.

  1.  Taking courses at other universities or colleges

  2.  Students may request and submit for IUPS approval (through their mentors),
       permission to earn credits for workshops, and other programs not mentioned above.

  3.  Many students earn course credits by having their mentor assign books to read on the
       course topic, and writing papers that demonstrate their understanding of the assigned
       material. Credits can also be obtained by attending conferences, workshops, and retreats
       as well as assigned projects. A key criteria for earning credits in this manner is for the
       student to demonstrate how learning th
is subject matter impacts their life personally and
       professionally. Integration of course material is of paramount importance at IUPS.

  4.  Students also have the opportunity to design their own electives, truly giving students
       the opportunity to customize their education. A sample syllabus is provided to assist
       students in meeting university standards. The student submits the proposed course
       syllabus to the mentor and the university for approval.
