Introduction
An inspiring field of exploration, Integral Consciousness Studies focuses on integral understanding, holistic worldview, critical thinking, transformative empirical knowledge, practices, and various professional and training philosophies.
The Integral Consciousness Studies Program is an interdisciplinary academic and professional study that integrates specific aspects of neurobiology, the psychology of consciousness or transpersonal psychology, cognitive neuroscience, humanistic psychology, cognitive psychology, epigenetics, philosophy, as well as nonviolent communication, lucid dream work, emotional intelligence, etc.
Students pursuing Integral Consciousness Studies develop an integrated understanding of the ontology and potentials of human consciousness. The emphasis is on developing an interdisciplinary approach to the study of consciousness open to a broad spectrum of perspectives from the scientific to the professional and from analytical to the transpersonal.
ICS Program provides integral knowledge to enhance erudition and skills to bridge the gap between studies and everyday life.
The ICS Masters and Doctoral degrees have been developed by the Transpersonal Psychology Institute in a collaborative partnership with Rushmore University and are offered as unique Programs.
