Curriculum<br />
The online Integral Theory certificate program is delivered using a<br />
cohort system in which a strong sense of community emerges<br />
among students. A cohort of 10 to 24 students begins every fall and<br />
progresses through the program at the same rate. Students take on<br />
average six units each quarter for four quarters (one year). This<br />
part-time format is ideal for working adults and students who have<br />
full-time careers or families and allows more time for student<br />
integration of the course material. The online delivery also offers<br />
round-the-clock course access, providing students maximum<br />
scheduling flexibility.<br />
There are two face-to-face meetings each year—one in the fall, and<br />
one in the spring. These gatherings last three to five days. One takes<br />
place in denver (where the Integral Institute is located) and the<br />
other in the San Francisco Bay Area (where JFKU is located).<br />
Courses comprising the 25-unit certificate are divided into two<br />
categories—core theory courses and core element courses. A core<br />
theory course is offered each quarter, providing the theo retical<br />
foundations for the integral model. Core element courses (also<br />
taught each quarter) provide professional development by training<br />
students to successfully apply the integral model to personal and<br />
professional goals and purposes.<br />
