Summer Quarter July-September
Unit of Credit
Each unit
represents ten (10) hours of direct instruction and related
academic work. Course work is accomplished by classroom lectures,
laboratory training, seminars, workshops, library research,
and supervised clinical internship activities. Each course will
carry four (4) quarter units of academic credit unless stated
otherwise.
Special Programs Top
A function
of the California Institute for Human Science is the provision
and sponsorship of an ongoing weekend workshop and seminar series.
Multi-disciplinary in scope, these specialized programs of instruction
provide community education opportunities relative to the educational
needs and interests of professionals, students, and the general
public. The Institute's workshop and seminar series is carefully
planned and executed to reflect the three broad learning and
training content areas represented by the Institute's graduate
programs and areas of research emphasis in Life Physics, Comparative
Religion and Philosophy, and Clinical Psychology.
Professional
Continuing Education Programs Top
The California
Institute for Human Science is a State approved continuing education
provider for Registered Nurses per the California Board of Registered
Nurses. In addition, the Institute is approved by the California
Psychological Association Accrediting Agency's Mandatory Continuing
Education for Psychologists (MCEP) program for the provision
of post-doctoral education and clinical training services required
by Licensed Psychologists in California. In this regard, the
California Board of Registered Nurses and the MCEP program both
require Registered Nurses and Licensed Psychologists to successfully
complete a specific number of Continuing Education Units (i.e.,C.E.U.'s)
annually. The Institute's responsibility for providing C.E.U.
programs of the highest caliber to licensed professionals is
fulfilled by the routine development and scheduling of specialized
education and training services, designed to meet the needs
of licensed professionals with respect to contemporary issues
in professional nursing and psychology. Therefore, the Institute's
approved C.E.U. programs are typically offered on weekends so
as to accommodate the working schedules of professional clinicians.
The special educational programs are organized by CIHS administration
and delivered by the Institute's faculty and consultants-many
of whom are internationally renowned scholars and practitioners.
In addition to providing post-doctoral specialized educational
services that award mandatory C.E.U.'s, the mission of the Institute's
special educational services strives to promote and bond the
Institute's educational resources with the professional community
in Southern California. In so doing, the C.E.U. program, which
enhances the content of the Institute's graduate curricula,
creates a viable context for CIHS graduate students to interact
and network with licensed professionals. This interactive learning
context allows the Institute's enrolled graduate students to
have ongoing opportunities for professional role modeling, as
well as establish contacts with professionals who may eventually
play a key role in the students, pre-doctoral clinical internship
placement and supervision.
Library Top
The CIHS
library contains approximately 5,000 books and a selection of
scholarly journals. The computer terminal in the CIHS library
provides Internet access to many sources of information of use
to student-scholars. CIHS is well situated geographically for
students to take advantage of major institutions in the California
State University system (San Diego State University) and the
University of California system (University of California, San
Diego). These are publicly financed educational institutions,
so it is possible for individuals to easily access the library
facilities by purchasing a library card at a nominal fee.
Licenses and
Credentials Top
If licensing
is the ultimate goal of the student, the Institute encourages
the student to check with her or his respective state, school
district, and professional associations for specific requirements.
The Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology at the Institute qualifies
graduates for the State licensing exam in clinical psychology,
assuming all extra-degree requirements are also met (e.g., supervised
post-doctoral clinical experience).
Catalog Changes Top
Because
this catalog must be prepared well ahead of the academic year
it covers, changes in some programs and rules may occur. The
class schedule is the final authority in regard to classes offered
and revisions of regulations.

Institute for Human Science does not provide housing or dormitory
facilities. Contact the Institute for a list of currently available
housing resources.
Facilities Top
The Institute
