Undergraduate Studies
Complete your bachelor’s degree online in three semesters.
Nontraditional students who want to experience a learning community that supports academic excellence, social justice, and many modes of learning can find it at CIIS. We provide three options for transfer students to finish their degrees: a Bachelor of Arts completion program for those seeking a versatile, interdisciplinary education, and two Bachelor of Science completion programs for students interested in exploring psychology or psychedelic studies.
All of the unique degree completion programs offered at CIIS are student-centered and value the personal development of each individual. Our innovative cohort model allows students to remain with the same group throughout the program, building relationships and co-creating knowledge. The online format means adult learners can remain flexible while engaging in a rigorous, transformative program.
