About This School

California Institute of Integral Studies is a private nonprofit institution located in San Francisco, California with approximately 57 undergraduate students enrolled.

Worth considering if you're drawn to holistic, spiritually-integrated graduate study in fields like counseling psychology or transformative arts — that's really where this school's identity and reputation live. With only 57 undergraduates, this is essentially a graduate-focused institution, so prospective undergrads should ask hard questions about resources, peer community, and career outcomes before committing. The median debt of $18,750 at graduation is relatively modest, but given the niche career paths most programs lead to, research expected salaries carefully to ensure the investment pays off.
