MA/PhD Requirements

The tables below indicate the required online courses for an M.A. or Ph.D. degree in Psychology with a Specialization in Jungian Studies. The Jungian Studies Specialization has at its core in-person weekend seminars offered at the C. G. Jung Center in Houston, Texas. Seven seminars are offered each academic year to each cadre of students. Certificate and M.A. students complete 14 seminars, and Ph.D. students complete 21 seminars.

These seminars, in the majority, feature in-depth study of various volumes of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung. A few seminars feature the work of post-Jungian scholars and analysts such as Hillman, von Franz, Giegerich, Edinger, and others; and on a Jungian approach to symbolic and cultural materials as manifest in religious, mythological, or cultural motifs. Course topics or readings are not repeated in a three-year cycle. The actual sequence of topics varies in any given year based on the availability of a particular instructor for a topic.

The charts below will show you the basic academic requirements for a Specialization in Jungian Studies for the M.A. as well as the Ph.D. degree. Also talk with the Specialization director, Dr. Alan Vaughan, for specific information about course requirements.
