It offers postgraduate education with a focus on humanistic psychology. It features low residency, master's and doctoral degrees and professional certification programs. The university is accredited by the Senior Colleges and Universities Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).[1][2] As of 2014 the university served 600 students.[3]

History

In 1971, the American psychologist Rollo May helped to establish the Humanistic Psychology Institute at California State University, Sonoma.[3][4] Later on it was renamed the Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center.[3] Author Michael Mayer recalls that the Saybrook name derives from Saybrook, Connecticut, where during a conference in 1964 several psychologists, including May, expressed a desire "to create a school that embodied the values of the 'human growth and potential movement' and to educate practitioner-scholars in the methods and philosophies of human-centered psychotherapy".[5] In 2009, the school was renamed Saybrook University.[3] The university became affiliated with the shared services organization TCS Education System in 2014 to provide administrative and financial services, so that the school could focus on teaching and research.[6][7] The same year, the school moved from San Francisco to Oakland, California.[8]

Academics

The university aims to provide "rigorous graduate education that inspires transformational change in individuals, organizations, and communities, toward a just, humane, and sustainable world."[9] It offers programs in Psychology and Interdisciplinary Studies (non-clinical), Clinical Psychology, Mind-Body Medicine, and Organizational Leadership and Transformation.

The school's president is Nathan Long[10] and psychiatrist James S. Gordon is the Dean of the Saybrook University Center for Mind-Body Medicine.[11] Notable faculty include Stanley Krippner at the School of Psychology and Interdisciplinary Inquiry,[12] Gary S. Metcalf at the School of Organizational Leadership and Transformation[12] and author Chip Conley.[10]
