Master of Arts in Conscious Evolution

"The Master’s in Conscious Evolution has been one of the most amazing adventures of my life – personally, spiritually, and academically. My life has transformed inside and out. I am now prepared to re-enter the world and make a meaningful contribution to the planet."

Andrew Miller, Advertising Professional
 

"The Graduate Institute provided an opportunity of a lifetime, and we took it. My wife and I participated in the Conscious Evolution program together and are very grateful that we did so. The course material was challenging and interesting, the instructors and advisors were encouraging and passionate, and the experiences were unique and life changing. The program covers so much territory both academically and experientially that I came away with a greater sense of my world and my place in it. Our Culminating Project allowed a deep exploration into my own interests within Conscious Evolution, so that the program was quite unique and individual to my needs. I am forever grateful."

Alex Iglecia, Teacher, Trainer, Mover & Shaker
 

"I was a student of the Conscious Evolution Program 2009, at the Graduate Institute.  The program for me was much more than pure academic experience.  The school brought in top notch speakers with all different points of view, which allowed each cohort participant to fully engage in the process of academic learning and personal growth.  We engaged in the study of models, theories, quantum physics and experienced dancing, drumming, process art and shamanistic journeys.  What I expected from the program was to gain an interdisciplinary study that allowed personal inquiry and an understanding at a larger level for all that surrounds us.  What I did not expect was to be involved in a program that changed my life for the better and created friendships and experiences that would last a lifetime.”

Beth Iglecia, Sales Associate
 

“I had a wonderful two year experience and I believe this is the model of learning most needed in our society today!”

Karen Hanson, Psychotherapist
 

"The Conscious Evolution program at The Graduate Institute was without a doubt, the most transformative experience of my entire existence. I, as a human being, have grown exponentially since beginning this Master's program. All of my learning experiences in the past 22 months have made me a much more aware, happy, fulfilled self. "

Master of Arts in Experiential Health and Healing
 

“Formal education had not been a positive or enjoyable experience for me. Until now. The Graduate Institute’s approach to learning has been life-changing for me. TGI respects me as an adult on my own path, learning what I need to know. TGI understands each person will take away something different from the presentations and learning events. It’s not about memorizing content, but absorbing what is relevant to me as an individual.”

Master of Arts in Learning and Thinking

"Every class in the Learning and Thinking program led me to evaluate important aspects of my life: my relationships, my profession, my aesthetic. I've learned tons about myself – how I view the world, why I think the way I do, and why I teach in my style. Most important though, I have been able to reflect on all these things and make significant changes in my life. My personal growth is clear, and I look forward to being a lifelong learner."

Learning and Thinking Colleague and Educator, Class of 2010
 

"The Learning and Thinking program has opened my mind by allowing me to experience perspectives that are very different than ones that I am accustomed to. The program has many engaging presenters that offer their unique perceptions of the world while intertwining it with their immense love for their field they are sharing. They give us a chance to feel and explore the passion they have and teach us how to experience it for ourselves… The program is remarkable because it allows the learners to experience art forms that they would never perform in their usual routines and it reinforces the fact that we are learners for life."

Sean Brennan, Math Educator
 

 Master of Arts in Oral Traditions

“I did not want a traditional Master’s degree in my subject area... I wanted to do something that would help me academically but would also enhance my personal growth. I have found that the Oral Traditions program has offered both. I’ve always though teaching needs to be made over (an “extreme make-over”) and the Institute is doing just that. Hopefully the effects will begin to trickle to other colleges and schools. Thank you for this experience.”

“I love the OT program!  I look forward to every session.  Many years ago when I got my B.A., I vowed never to study again in an educational setting.  Now I love to study because I can relate to every session and to every assignment and project.  It’s also a very positive experience for me because I do not need to worry about being critiqued in a negative way.”
