M.A. IN ENGAGED HUMANITIES WITH EMPHASIS IN DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY

This two-year M.A. Program in Engaged Humanities takes advantage of online technology that allows students to work and learn in their home environments. Additionally, twice each year, students gather on the Pacifica Campus for an expanded week in residence.

All students start their first quarter in the program with an oncampus orientation in Santa Barbara. They are introduced to each other, faculty, department staff, and student service representatives. This helps them develop a sense of community and collaboration that continues to grow through their ensuing online discussions. That bond is further strengthened when students gather on the Pacifica Campus twice each year for an expanded week in residence. These intensive sessions include classroom presentations, guest speakers, experiential activities, and ample opportunities for social interaction.

When working from their home environments, students read online presentations, respond to interactive discussions with classmates and faculty, and complete regular written assignments. Typically, students are enrolled in three courses during each ten-week quarter. The work is ongoing and academically challenging, yet flexible enough to allow students to engage in the program in a way that suits their personal schedule. Faculty and staff are readily available to offer guidance either online or by phone.

M.A./PH.D. IN DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY WITH EMPHASIS IN JUNGIAN & ARCHETYPAL STUDIES

This three-year M.A./Ph.D. Program in Depth Psychology with Emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies utilizes online technology so students can work and learn in their home environments in conjunction with residential sessions on the Pacifica Campus.

Classes begin online and continue during four-day residential sessions that take place from a Thursday morning to a Sunday
afternoon once each quarter. During residentials, classes are in session from seven to nine hours a day. Faculty are encouraged to combine lecture, student presentations, and group discussion
with experiential and embodied learning to accommodate different styles of learning. Students can meet with faculty one-onone during lunch and dinner breaks. Every session contains an opportunity to meet as a group with the program’s director to address concerns, raise questions, or discuss how the program is progressing. Evening sessions include social gatherings, fi lm screenings, special events, forums, and guest speakers.

While working from home, students are expected to log in weekly. This includes time spent reading presentations, posting
and responding to discussions, listening to audio files, and watching videos. In addition, students will spend time deeply reading books and classic essays from the rich canon of Jungian, post-Jungian, and archetypal studies literature.

The work is ongoing and academically challenging, yet flexible enough to allow students to engage in the program in a way that suits their personal schedule. Faculty and staff are readily available to offer guidance either online or by phone.
