Graduate Studies
Register for the online course co-taught by Riane Eisler and Susan Carter at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS)!
No matter where you live, you can now enroll in the online graduate program in Partnership Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). Courses start with meeting with Dr. Eisler and Dr. Susan Carter at the beautiful Pacifica resort on the California coast. The current course begins January 2010.
This is an innovative program for new graduates and mid-life career people who want to make a difference in their lives, their organizations, and the world. Students work in a community of likeminded individuals, build a curriculum around their calling and passion, and develop skills to make their visions realities.
Students also can earn credit while interning with the Center for Partnership Studies or other change-making nonprofit organizations. Imagine a career in Partnership! Join us!
