Online Partnership Leadership
Classes, Master's, & Ph.D. Offered at CIIS

Build a career and earn a graduate degree in Partnership, or simply take a class, studying with Riane Eisler and Masters and Ph.D. students from around the globe!

No matter where you live, you can now enroll in the online graduate program in Partnership Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). Courses start with a 2-day intensive with Dr. Eisler and Dr. Susan Carter at the beautiful Pacifica resort on the California coast in August 2008 and January 2009.

This is an innovative program for those who are serious about making a difference in their lives, their organizations, and the world. Students work in a community of likeminded individuals, build a curriculum around their calling and passion, and develop skills to make their visions realities. Students also can earn credit while interning with the Center for Partnership Studies or other change-making nonprofit organizations. Imagine a career in Partnership! Join us!

CIIS is in its second year of building a network of professionals with practical tools and
organizational connections to spread Partnership through action around the globe!

Student Comments:

"The Partnership concentration is proving to be the most worthwhile and transformative
educational opportunity I've encountered. It presents practical, accessible and holistic solutions to the most urgent challenges and myriad problems we face on a personal, interpersonal,national and global scale. I am excited to continue growing with this material and using it throughout my life - enabling me to be an even more effective leader and the best social change agent I can be."
