    I just recently graduated from Palo Alto University's M.S. in Psychology Program and all I can say…read moreare good things about this university. Programs are rigorous and focused solely on Counseling and Psychology, with bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees being offered. Yes, it is a private school and the tuition is quite high, but it is worth it, especially since it is an institution closely affiliated with Stanford University, and it is one of a few universities that offers fully online programs tailored for working professionals. In my cohort, there were students who had graduated from UCLA, UC Berkeley, and USC, so getting into the graduate programs is not easy. The quality of education and supportive faculty are comparable to none. All faculty are experts in their fields and have clinical experience, so you are not only learning about theory in your courses, but you also learn to apply those theories in a clinical setting. All professors that I had were not only clinicians, but they also conducted their own research to advance their respective areas of focus. PAU is truly a hidden gem that not many people know about. It is more on the smaller side of a typical university in the Bay Area, but this comes as a great advantage in the form of smaller class sizes, supportive and accessible faculty, a collaborative and intimate classroom experience with peers, and professors knowing each student by name. Administration and staff always seemed approachable and went out of their way to help, so I always felt supported during my studies. The campus in Palo Alto is small but beautiful and very peaceful. If you're serious about becoming a competent, compassionate mental health professional, PAU offers the foundation you need. It certainly is not easy, but it is absolutely worth it. I left feeling prepared, confident, and grateful for the experience. Thank you, PAU.

    I suggest that potential students think carefully before attending Palo Alto University. There are…read moreseveral serious concerns that you should know about. For one, the tuition is very high, which can put financial pressure on students. My experience with some faculty members was disappointing. I encountered a few who treated students in a condescending way, creating a negative learning environment. My concerns were not taken seriously by the administration. Therefore, this creates an environment where disrespect is condoned. Also, I noticed unprofessional behavior from some professors, which was surprising for a graduate school. The high turnover of faculty is concerns many professors I have taken are no longer with the school. Regarding the master's program, the school claims to be inclusive. However, I don't believe they are inclusive. Some members of the graduate enrollment committee, who are current students, act in a snobbish way, creating an unfriendly atmosphere. I don't think actual students should be given so much power in the acceptance process of a graduate program. If you look up the graduate program questions, it comes across as condescending. Why should you interview so thoroughly for a program you are paying for as a student? Overall, I do not recommend PAU. There are significant issues regarding how faculty treats people. I wouldn't be surprised to receive a rude response to this review, as the school tends to be defensive and unprofessional when faced with criticism that supports my points about staff and disrespect. I've observed that they respond to reviews in an argumentative manner rather than upholding professionalism. I encourage prospective students to think carefully before making a decision.

    Choosing what school to go to to achieve your PhD. is not an easy task, and shouldn't be if you…read moreknow exactly what your looking for. I found what I call to be the best school for Transpersonal Psychology. The Institute of Transpersonal Studies (ITP) (within Sofia University) has had its share of changes, and like life... they have lead to a brighter tomorrow. The current chair of the the PhD. program has nurtured both the students and curriculum into something that has structure, sophistication, challenging, and statue. I am in year 2 for a 3 year program, and feel that every quarter I register for has a new level of rigor and depth. My professors are always available for comment, and advise. Leaning on their expertise in research to model myself after has been one of the most enticing experiences. We are asked in every class, how Transpersonal Psychology aligns with what we are studying (mindfulness, life and death, research methodologies, etc). Above all, the thing that has meant the most to me is the close family that has been created while I have been a student. My cohorts are like no one else in my life, my professors are perfect models for what I aspire to be like, and the school administration is trying everyday to make our school better with the help of the whole Sofia family. I have been at the school through 2 PhD chairs, and was stuck with uneasiness as the changes progressed- but I am so happy that I did because as IPT is resurrected, we are beginning to find our footing in the world of Transpersonal Psychology. I highly recommend my school to those who are looking for a excellent education in the field of spirituality and psychology. And please trust me... there are a lot of bad reviews about my school. From people who did not find that same experience. As we learn at Sofia, I encourage you to listen to your inner voice if you are on the fence... reach out to teachers, students, and staff and ask the questions you most care about. Ask to see the curriculum, to talk to students. There is nothing to hide, we are making our school better every day.

    TL;DR- Version: (That's too long didn't read for non techies): This is not the same school I signed…read moreup for in 2013 but after 3+ years of turmoil the school is re-emerging into greatness. This last seminar I got a sneak peak at the new curriculum, website, and operational changes that are in final stages of implementation. The broken systems that plagued the registrar are actually fixed, the curriculum is on par with other schools and not so hippie slanted that it's hard to connect to mainstream psychology. And I no longer feel any anxiety about the school's future; rather I feel great hope and excitement. I almost wish I were now signing up for the Ph.D. for the first time. However I would have missed the great struggle that helped forge me into the confident Ph.D. candidate that I am. If you are considering this school talk to admissions and ask them to give you some current students contact info to hear their thoughts. Heck even ask for my info David Anderson and I'll answer any question, thought or concern with compassionate candor. ----- THE WHOLE (Abridged For Internet Story) I have been attending Sofia University since Fall of 2013, before the collapse. I chose to stay in the Ph.D. in Psychology program because my gut told me that my voice as a student would help ensure that the school recover and offer education that would both benefit students and the world. I want to candidly share my experience about the Ph.D. program from start to finish during this transition and provide my view of where the school is now, and why I believe it is a renewed beacon of light in Silicon Valley...and the world. First let me address the negative reviews here. There are a lot of hurt feelings and valid complaints about what happened at Sofia, but now in the Spring Quarter of 2017 I can say that the ship has been fully righted and is in a far better place then it EVER was in my previous experience (starting September 2013). When I first enrolled in the Global Ph.D. the curriculum was fixed and there were no electives. My admissions advisor failed to mention this, but after seminar and my first quarter I resigned and accepted this as a compromise for the transpersonal interactions. After the school began it's turbulent time the curriculum changed, beloved teachers, and chair struggled to serve as an administrator. To his credit, his gift was leading in a time of peace, not change. I found the new core and concentration options exciting so I chose to stay with the school to support, and hold it accountable to the quality of education I demanded. The next year or two were rocky to say the least, and found myself playing ambassador advocate fighting for my education. This process was riddled with drama and growing pains with program implementation and sustainability. I can happy say the new curriculum in the Ph.D. program is the program I wanted before I started at Sofia. It puts the school on par with other programs with tuition, curriculum requirements, and still and offers the opportunity to study what you want to study. I believe there will continue to be minor growing pains, but with the new student senate, Liz Li's compassionate ear, and the highly accomplished Ph.D. program Chair Marilyn Schlitz the ship of Sofia is back on course and gaining speed. Additionally, there will be opportunities to take classes across programs to support your career goals such as coding, business, and education. Reality Check: As I write this the new website, tuition and curriculum changes have not yet been published. The new operations officer made the wise decision to get rid of the problematic systems and bring in proven systems that are simpler and more reliable. The school is not the old ITP, which to me is a good thing, it felt far to patriarchal and a bit chauvinistic. ....more cut off by word limit... To those who are no longer here: In the process that got the school the place it is today we lost a lot of great students, wonderful faculty, staff, and chairs. They are not forgotten and are missed. Should you enroll at the Sofia University, USA that we are today? - I would say yes. The MATP program is as strong as it ever has been, the PH.D. program is great and continuing to get better and more interesting every quarter. - MBA, CS: These are mostly newer programs but the vision and curriculum seem really solid. I was actually considering both the MBA and CS program in data science before I realized that I needed to finish my Ph.D., and work for a while before doing another graduate program. - Transpersonal Technology Lab: This is a hidden GEM! I have a study already planned after graduation using things I learned from Dr. Jeffery Martin who heads up that space. - Flexibility: The global programs and seminars are like no other, you can work, develop great relationships in school, and get an advanced degree in a field you've always wanted to study.
