JFKU’s Integral Field Courses offer students opportunities to apply Integral Theory to real-world situations.

Field courses will be offered annually, highlighting different countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. They are coordinated in partnership with organizations from the global south and are connected to local community projects. They offer students opportunities to work dynamically with global issues using the Integral Model, to learn about the dynamic potential of the global village, and to deepen an integral understanding of Being-in-the-World.

The inaugural integral field course takes place November 15-25th, 2007 in El Salvador.

This two-unit elective offered by the Integral Studies Department will focus on individual, community, and environmental well-being in a global context. Students will learn about issues that range in scope, such as post-conflict and healing; environmental degradation and sustainability; food security and organic agriculture; self-empowerment and gender equity.

The field course will involve:

• Deep and applied learning of integral applications through daily activities, field lectures, assigned projects, and experiential practices.

• A focus on self-development, critical thinking, integration of theoretical experiences, and self-awareness practices.

• Community building with students and teachers, as well as with the organizations and people we visit.

Offered in partnership with Integral Institute, the online Master of Arts in Integral Theory* at John F. Kennedy University is the most rigorous and complete training available in the Integral Model. Pioneered by Ken Wilber, the Integral Model is a unifying and comprehensive framework that resonates with people seeking more integrative ways to understand and respond to the complexity of today’s world.

The online program is designed to educate the next generation of integrally informed scholar-practitioners to skillfully apply the integral approach to real world challenges in a variety of fields. The online program will include students from around the globe and will form the heart of the world’s first Integral Theory learning community.

This 68-unit online program is the world’s first accredited Masters program on the Integral Model developed by Ken Wilber. The first cohort group starts in Fall 2007* and students will form a global learning community engaging collaboratively in courses covering Core Theory, Core Integral and Core Applied topics. The courses, taught by leading Integral scholar-practitioners, deliver a practical and theoretical foundation in all aspects of the Integral Model. Students also gain access to the world’s most extensive Integral knowledge library, including subscriptions to AQAL Journal, Integral Multiplex, and the Integral Spiritual Center.
