Combined MA/PhD in Integral Transpersonal Psychology

Combined MA/PhD in Integral Transpersonal Psychology

The Combined MA/PhD in Integral Transpersonal Psychology, developed as a partnership between Integral Transpersonal Institute Italy and Ubiquity University, bridges the gap between the integral and the transpersonal in the realm of psychology.

This doctoral program:

  • allows you to enter the PhD program while still earning your MA
  • promotes research combining the study of transpersonal psychology based on its interrelated and interdependent aspects;
  • is a multidisciplinary host for PhD-candidates whose psychological questions are inspired by studies of science and wisdom studies; and,
  • provides supervision for PhD-candidates on both scientific/discipline-specific and personal/spiritual level.

Upon successful completion of this program you will receive a PhD in Integral Transpersonal Psychology. However you will not receive a separate MA degree.

Degree Requirements:

The precondition of this MA/PhD course is a successful participation in a BA level program. The program also accepts training done by other institutions.

(Given the requirement to have a master’s degree before pursuing a PhD degree, this combined MA/PhD in ITP enables you to get your MA qualification first and then continue studies toward your PhD. Please discuss with the Dean of Graduate Studies. 44 credits must be completed from both university’s core courses, 20 credits at the MA level and 24 at the PhD level plus 36 credits attained for the doctoral dissertation, totaling 80 credits.)

The required courses include the following.

Although ITP BA, ITP BA Completion and ITP MA students can take courses from the Alef Trust and transfer those in for credit, the PhD program does not allow for that substitution.

The PhD program is comprised of a combination of the above courses, for which there are post papers, and the dissertation, which includes an oral examination with a dissertation committee. The program must be completed within a period of seven years from initiation of study.

Dr. Pier Luigi Lattuada, Founder President of the Integral Transpersonal Institute, will offer general advice and either serve as Major Advisor or assist all PhD students in selecting the appropriate Major Advisor. Dr. Gyorgyi Szabo, Dean of Graduate Studies for Ubiquity University, will coordinate the program for the Ubiquity side.
