How is the Integrative Studies Program (ISP) different from the clinical programs in psychology?
ISP offers an individualized, self-designed curriculum where you explore a specific in-depth area of interest through the lens of psychology. You design and implement courses that articulate a particular passion, vision or concern within the context of a master ’s degree program. Completion of an ISP degree does not lead to clinical licensing.
What takes place during the self-designed portion of the program?
You can design this portion of your degree by enrolling in elective courses at Antioch, designing independent study courses or transferring credits from an outside master’s-level, accredited institution. Students can transfer a maximum of 9 credits from outside institutions.
What is the practical application portion of the curriculum?
The practical application is the expression of your area of focus in psychology. This project can be a thesis, a creative arts project, facilitation of a workshop, curriculum design or self-exploration. The project is evaluated and supported by a degree committee of two field advisers and an Antioch faculty adviser.
What level of faculty support is available?
You will have a core faculty adviser when you enter the ISP program. This adviser helps you clarify your intentions and works with you to identify learning goals. Field advisers from the academic and professional community also act as your resources.
