Accreditations

CIIS is an accredited member of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC),^[1] and has degrees accredited from the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM).^[2]

Revoked APA accreditation

In 2003, the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) program in Clinical Psychology received accreditation from the American Psychological Association (APA). This accreditation was revoked in 2011. CIIS's appeal of the decision was denied in 2012.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Schools

The Institute consists of four schools: the School of Professional Psychology & Health, the School of Consciousness and Transformation (mainly humanities subjects), the School of Undergraduate Studies, and the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine at CIIS. Many courses combine mainstream academic curriculum with a spiritual orientation, including influences from a broad spectrum of mystical or esoteric traditions. Although the Institute has no official spiritual path, some of its historical roots lie among followers of the Bengali sage Sri Aurobindo.^[6]
