Programs

Learn how to learn using multiple modes of knowing that include integrating bodily perceptions with reason, as well as objective and subjective experience, leading to holistic types of thinking that are sensory and logical, critical and imaginative. Immerse yourself in a transformative learning environment in the School of Holistic Studies that links human wellness and spiritual awareness with career development and community service.

Arts & Consciousness
Explore your personal creative process through innovative arts programs that integrate your search for meaning, community, and identity. Our faculty of Bay Area artists, scholars, mentors, and visiting artists invite you to join our exceptional arts community dedicated to re-visioning the role of the artist in contemporary society.

As your aesthetic expression flourishes and your professional skills grow, your work may join that of transformative artists exhibited in our own Arts & Consciousness Gallery at our Berkeley campus.

In our studio-based holistic programs, you'll embody spirituality, self-affirmation, and cultural relevance, as you prepare to realize your personal and professional potential through art making. Choose the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Studio Arts, the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Studio Arts, or the Master of Arts in Transformative Arts.

Integral Studies
Explore reality through the multiple perspectives associated with experience, behavior, culture, and systems. Combine introspection and applied scientific inquiry to engage contemporary global issues facing self, community, and humanity. Enhance your awareness, health, and the development of humanity through deep investigation into the nature of self and the world in our Integral Studies programs.

The Integral Studies Department offers the only accredited Master of Arts program authorized by pioneering integral philosopher Ken Wilber. You can acquire and creatively apply this groundbreaking conceptual approach to the spectrum of human consciousness. Appreciate the unfolding of the conscious self through the integration of body, mind, soul, and spirit in a multifaceted program that draws from Western and Eastern psychological and spiritual wisdom traditions, and includes professional communication and research skills.

Integral Studies graduate programs and certificates that envision opportunities for personal, professional, and social transformation include integral psychology, holistic health education, consciousness and transformative studies, dream studies, and integral theory, which is available online.

Holistic Counseling Psychology
In our unique holistic counseling psychology program, you'll integrate mind, body, and spirit with solid academic training in professional counseling skills through our strong emphasis on self-exploration and personal growth.

You'll learn to work psychotherapeutically with individuals, couples, families, and groups to address topics involved in marriage and family, child therapy, cross-cultural issues, addiction, individual development, diagnosis and assessment, as well as group process and effective communication.

Choose a specialization in somatic psychology, transpersonal psychology, or holistic studies. At our Campbell campus, you can enrich your holistic training from an emphasis in Buddhist psychology.

You'll complete a field placement at our Center for Holistic Counseling in Oakland, at JFKU's Sunnyvale Community Counseling Center, or at another approved site in the Bay area. And you'll be well prepared to achieve a California licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT).
