Emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies
Program Format
When students begin their studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute, they join a cohort of like-minded students who are also enrolling in that particular degree program. The majority of students remain with the same cohort throughout their academic journey. A very real sense of community is soon established as students collaborate within their cohorts and share the intense experiences that are part of graduate-level work at Pacifica. Close personal and professional bonds are formed, often lasting long after studies are completed and extending into graduates' new careers.
Pacifica Graduate Institute Online
This degree program takes advantage of online technology which allows students to work and learn in their home environments in conjunction with residential sessions on the tranquil Ladera Lane Pacifica campus. Classes begin online and meet during four-day residential sessions (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday) once a quarter. During these on-campus sessions, students have access to the Institute's extensive resources and are able to engage with their classmates and instructors in face-to-face learning, combining lecture, discussion, and experiential and embodied learning. Residential sessions also allow time for community-building through shared meals, social events, film screenings, guest lectures, and circle councils.
Students enrolling in the Jungian and Archetypal emphasis of the Depth program for a fall start date will attend all residential sessions at the Ladera Lane campus in Santa Barbara, Ca. For students enrolling for a spring start date, residential sessions will be split between Santa Barbara and New York city.
