Santa Barbara Graduate Institute is proud to train some of the world’s most extraordinary integrative care professionals, through a powerfully progressive curriculum that combines both traditional and alternative approaches; a teaching model that values multiple ways of learning and knowing; flexible formats (including once-monthly and online classes) to respect and meet the needs of diverse students; and intensive, individualized hands-on training and career support.
We believe that the greatest contribution people can make in the world emerges when they express their unique and authentic selves. When people find coherence between their life purpose, talents, strengths, and patterns of being, and their expertise in the work they do, there is a synergy that transcends technique or approach. This is where one’s passion and inspiration flourishes and excellence is manifest—and our goal is to help students attain that.
The depth and intensity of SBGI master’s and doctoral programs requires students to be mature, well functioning, self-directed, and receptive to continual growth. Our programs also call for clear and critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, interest in theory and research, and sound writing skills.
