INTRODUCTION: Below is a sampling of the participants (your potential classmates) in our Certificate and Degree Program courses in 2002-2004. Each has mastered the 5-week, online, Orientation Course, PsychologicalElements of Global Citizenship and its organic psychology process. They have learned how, on or off the program, to support, enjoy and sustain cooperative relationships with natural systems in the environment and people.
The total student body resides in 24 USA states and 8 other countries. Each student is increasingly using NSTP Organic Psychology to improve their professional and personal life skills.
