Application to the Integral Counseling Psychology program requires the following:

• Statement of Professional Goals and Objectives: A one-page statement (typed, double-spaced) addressing the following points, which the program considers desirable in selecting candidates for admission:
  • A background or interest in East-West philosophy and psychology.
  • A view of human nature compatible with the program's orientation and emphasis.
  • Pursuit of a path of personal growth (e.g., yoga, meditation, psychotherapy).
  • Sufficient personal stability and energy to become an effective helper.
  • Demonstrated commitment to the field (e.g., volunteer or paid experience in a psychologically oriented community service agency).
  • Present interests and past academic records that indicate probable success in completing graduate studies.
• Autobiographical statement: A four-to-six page (typed, double-spaced) introspective autobiographical statement emphasizing childhood experience and discussing your values, emotional and spiritual insights, aspirations, and life experiences that have led to your decision to apply.
• Two letters of recommendation: Letters of recommendation will be accepted from academic advisors, professors, professional supervisors, or someone able to attest to your ability to undertake the work required for your program. (Standard business letter format preferred.)
• Transcripts: Official, sealed transcripts from each accredited academic institution you have attended.

In addition to the above considerations, the program seeks individuals who exhibit the interpersonal communication skills required of psychotherapists. These include congruence of feelings and action; ability to listen and attend; willingness to be self-reflective; and an openness to evaluating and changing behaviors and attitudes.
