I’d like to introduce Integral Psychology Program at John F. Kennedy University. Now, I’m belonging to this program, and I think this program is wonderful for people who want to study Integral Theory and various psychologies. If you want to study them systematically, I really recommend this program. Please see the following overview of this amazing program. Feel free to share this page (link, twitter, facebook, very welcome!)
“We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that, in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms, we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society….To this end…we the peoples of Earth declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations.”
Preamble, Earth Charter
The Integral Psychology program explores the profound levels of human existence and the potential of human beings to engage in creative action that supports and engenders transformative personal and social change. Through the study of psychology, spirituality, integral perspectives and multiple worldviews, students develop a strong theoretical and practical foundation of Western psychology, spirituality, and the skillful means for applying these principles to personal and professional life.
The two-year, 55 unit Master of Arts degree in Integral Psychology is an interdisciplinary program designed to educate the next generation of scholar-practitioners to skillfully apply integral philosophical and psychological insights to personal and planetary transformation. The program employs diverse content and multiple modalities of learning to provide studies that broaden spiritual, socio-cultural, relational, ecological, and world-centric awareness. It also provides an opportunity for students to engage in deep self-development processes, spiritual inquiry and transformative leadership practices in service of the world.
The program includes the study of human psycho-spiritual development and evolutionary stages of consciousness in a variety of contexts, including humanistic/existential, cultural, social, transpersonal and integral. The program also fosters a deep understanding
of interpersonal dynamics, effective communication and conflict transformation
skills, as well as the capacity for in-depth self-reflection and self-inquiry necessary for personal and spiritual development. All courses integrate academic principles, experiential application, social awareness and personal growth.
The coursework in the Integral Psychology program consists of a core curriculum as well as elective and professional development courses such as Teaching Practicum: Presentations and Workshops, Curriculum Development, Publishing & Media, Personal and Professional Coaching, Social Entrepreneurship, and Transformative Leadership. At the end of the coursework, students complete a final comprehensive paper that integrates personal experience, academic content and professional goals.
The faculties of the Master of Arts degree in Integral Psychology are respected scholar practitioners who bring passion, expertise, academic rigor, and experiential learning into the classroom and who are highly rated by their students.
“As important and powerful as it was for me to learn about Integral
Psychology, spirituality, self-inquiry, and different world views in
class, the assignments and experiential exercises also taught me
how to apply my education to my life and to attain the
professional goals I desire.”
- Jean Santullo
