Transformative Inquiry Department

The Transformative Inquiry Program at CIIS provides innovative degrees designed for individuals who wish to be thought leaders as well as action leaders. The PhD in Transformative Studies focuses on the creation of original, leading-edge research in a context where academic research, self-inquiry, and our global context are intimately related. The MA in Transformative Leadership is designed for students who have a passion for creating positive change in the world and want to work in a community of like-minded individuals to develop the skills and personal qualities needed to make their vision a reality. Following CIIS's educational mission, both programs stress an integral perspective in which self-reflection, self-inquiry, and personal growth are combined with rigorous academic inquiry. Both the MA in Transformative Leadership and the PhD in Transformative Studies are offered entirely online.
