Master's and Doctoral Programs in Depth Psychology, Counseling, Clinical Psychology, Mythological Studies, Consciousness, and the Humanities
Pacifica Graduate Institute is an accredited graduate school offering masters and doctoral degree programs in the traditions of depth psychology. Our educational environment nourishes respect for cultural diversity and individual differences, and our students have access to an impressive array of educational resources on Pacifica’s two campuses, both of which are located a few miles south of Santa Barbara, California.
This month, the US Supreme Court issued rulings in two affirmative action cases. The rulings in these two cases reversed 40 years of legal precedent. Despite the two rulings, Pacifica Graduate Institute continues to value diversity. As always, we will follow the law, but for the sake of tending soul of and in the world, we remain committed to making depth psychology accessible to everyone.
At Pacifica Graduate Institute, we are deeply distressed and aggrieved by the senseless, ongoing violence directed at black members of our communities. We grieve Mr. George Floyd’s death as the latest hate-motivated tragedy in a society riven by dehumanization and lack of empathy for fellow citizens based on mindless racist projections.
