A Message from the President

We believe that the future is holistic and we’d love for you to be a part of this future! 20 years into our role as the leading accredited institution for holistic studies on the East Coast, The Graduate Institute has charted a unique course in higher education.
We firmly believe that especially during these uncertain, worrying COVID-dominated times we live in, our renowned Masters and Certificate programs are more relevant and valuable to improve your work and personal lives than ever.
TGI offers a practical new model of learning around relevant topics grounded in a holistic worldview — seeing individuals, communities, families, organizations, and countries as whole, integrated, interrelated systems — a view which is more essential than ever.
If you have thought about studying with us but just haven’t had the time or the resources, we invite you to browse our site and then reach out to a member of our admissions team for a personal consultation. If financial assistance is a need, we have a variety of ways we can support your involvement with these life-changing programs.
