The Integral Counseling Psychology program attracts creative, self-directed, mature students from all around the world who have shown a strong interest in the integration of spirituality and therapy. Most Integral Counseling students have personal interests in spiritual growth, and many also have a strong background in psychology (though a psychology degree is not required). Each student comes to the Integral Counseling Psychology program with a unique set of experiences and interests that he or she uses to integrate and transform the transpersonal paradigm.

With their strong backgrounds in group work and leadership, graduates typically work in a variety of environments, from clinical to the creative arts to corporate settings. Among alumni are:
