Meridian University's Psychology Programs offer a profound and transformative journey, deeply rooted in an integral approach to education that underscores the significance of embodied knowledge. Within Meridian’s Master's and Doctoral degrees in Psychology, we cultivate your personal and professional growth through a dynamic, multifaceted, and holistic curriculum. The commitment is to empower you to delve into the intricacies of the human experience, while nourishing your relationship between vocation, academic discipline, and profession.
Psychology at Meridian seeks to reclaim the soul through the imagination and draws on numerous knowledge domains which go beyond the conventional discipline and profession of psychology. We celebrate the rich tapestry of psychology by integrating a wide range of perspectives, including Integral Psychology, Somatic and Yoga Psychology, Depth Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, and Clinical Psychology. Beyond these orientations, Meridian also offers concentrations for our Psychology Programs in Developmental Coaching, Collective Trauma and healing, Expressive and Movement Arts, Transformative Leadership, Transformative Learning, Organizational Development, and Health and Wellbeing Coaching.
Meridian’s pedagogical approach transcends in so many ways the confines of conventional academia, encompassing the virtues of collaboration, ethics, process skills, psychopathology, reflexivity, empathy, and an acute appreciation of diversity. We acknowledge that for many, psychology represents not just a simple subject of study, but a profound calling towards a noble profession. As such, Meridian University's Psychology Programs are more than mere degrees; they exemplify a quest for profound self-discovery and growth.
Meridian’s approach also goes beyond the constraints of conventional, informational learning alone. Instead, we foster transformative learning that beckons students to not only assimilate knowledge, but to internalize and manifest it at the deepest levels of their body and psyche. This transformative process, as our students will attest, not only imparts knowledge but endows them with the ability to evolve, adapt, and flourish amidst the ever-evolving complexities of the psychological realm. Through our integral approach, we furnish our students with both the tools and the profound wisdom to traverse the unknown with confidence and deep compassion for others.
Join us at Meridian University and be part of a community that values your growth, transformation, and the integral embodiment of knowledge. Come be a part of a community that appreciates your uniqueness and empowers you to make a lasting impact on the world through the art and science of psychology.
