Program Requirements
The master’s in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness at CIIS consists of 36 semester units (two years of coursework), and is offered in both online and residential format.
Online students are highly encouraged but not required to participate in the annual residential retreat, intensive courses, and other program-associated events held in and around the San Francisco Bay Area.
At the conclusion of their master’s program, all students take an integrative seminar which is structured to help consolidate what they have learned throughout the program. Through a process of collaborative inquiry, students refine their unique perspectives and their ability to bridge various bodies of knowledge while developing plans for their next steps after graduation. The course culminates with a public presentation to the assembled Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness community of the students’ key insights.
