DEGREE PROGRAMS
Overview:
Members of every academic discipline usually have one thing in common. They are all involved in some aspect of contemporary society's thinking process. However, our thinking process has destructively disconnected itself and us from nature's intelligence. It views the world with jaundiced, nature separated eyes and is usually in denial of doing this even though the destructive effects speak for themselves.
The NSTP Certificate program gives individuals the opportunity to reverse their damaging separation from natural systems and help others do likewise. Participants build a beneficial nature-reconnecting component into their work and help others enjoy its rewards, too.
The Natural Systems Thinking Process validates that contemporary humanity's greatest personal and global problems result from the destructive separation of the way we think from the cooperative ways and organics of our biological and psychological origins in the global ecosystem. For this reason, NSTP learning with nature helps humanity and Earth co-create to survive the destructiveness of the contemporary thinking. It adds an vital component to education, counseling and healing programs and makes an important contribution to most other areas of endeavor. This is because NSTP learning helps people experience and share thoughtful, sensory, attraction connections with authentic nature and thereby improve their personal and environmental relationships.
Degree Options: ( please visit our degree program pages)
The Integrated Ecology Department of the Institute of Global Education serves as a training and course program for a number of Universities and Programs that cooperatively affiliate with us. All the IGE programs described below start with working towards Certification and then optionally continuing on with your Degree. All are fully compatible with our affiliates academically and financially.
You may use this certificate program as a post Bachelors, Masters or Doctoral Certificate of Training for adding organic psychology NSTP to your present field of interest.
The Certificate program when completed leads to either
A - IGE full Certification: 36 credits: Upon completion of Certification you may optionally continue on to one of the following:
B - IGE certification that you have achieved the equivalency of a degree. For $400 plus telephone conference costs, you complete your degree project or research program and thesis/dissertation. After you successfully pass your written and oral exams, IGE certifies you have completed the equivalency of an MS or Ph.D. degree at a high standard of excellence. The printed Certificate you receive and your transcript convey this.
No diploma or degree is issued by IGE for we choose not to be licensed or accredited as a degree granting institution.C. An accredited or unaccredited MS or Ph.D degree program through IGE and a cooperating university is available at the time of your Certification.
NOTE: It is best to declare yourself on this track before you start the Certification Program and then drop out or switch later if you choose. This makes Scholarship funds available that may not be available later.
D - IGE Post Graduate certification that you have passed oral and written comprehensives on a Post Doctoral level
The Training Certificate course work and internship program may be completed and then, optionally, transferred into cooperating M.S. or Ph.D. programs available at the time of completion without losing any course credit. This postpones having to make a final degree decision regarding your application of the Natural Systems Thinking Process until after you have had professional experiences and greater familiarity with NSTP. It also makes room for the possibility of a greater selection of degree programs being available at a later date. Scholarship funds may or may not be available at this time, so it is best to apply as a degree program participant when you start the certification program.

1. Candidates apply for the Certification program, successfully complete the Orientation Course and meet an appropriate time frame for their program, schedule, payment, and goals.
