Our Programs

CIIS’ B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies allows students to complete their bachelor’s degree in three semesters. The core curriculum focuses on social justice, personal growth, and transformation. With the support of an advisor, students have the freedom to choose their electives to align with their career goals.

Faculty are actively engaged around the world in their research interests, including empowering refugees and immigrants, dismantling privilege, indigenous communities, the intersections of art, spirituality, and activism, restorative justice processes, LGBTQ+ studies, depth psychology, power dynamics, and identity construction.

Our B.S. in Psychology is a social justice-oriented program that provides an in-depth understanding of an integral approach to psychology through experiential learning. We ask students to situate themselves, or consider who they are in relation to texts, materials, and subject matter they encounter in their studies. 

Our department’s faculty facilitates students' learning and brings in a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Faculty are actively engaged in their research interests, including: transpersonal, depth, and somatic psychologies, transformative teaching and learning, neurodiversity, social nervous system, healing and social change. Our graduates go on to make a difference in their communities as research analysts, human resources professionals, case workers, and further academic scholars.
