Welcome to Keck Graduate Institute. By every measure, Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) is in a league of its own. Our faculty is world-class. Our students are poised to become international leaders in their fields. Our programs are literally without peer—we remain, nearly two decades after our founding, the only professional graduate school dedicated to education and research in the life sciences. Yet, what truly distinguishes KGI is a relentless focus on impact: a commitment to scientific innovation capable of strengthening communities and improving lives. Our mission is "To enrich society with breakthrough approaches to education and translational research in the life sciences." With their native talent and the training they receive here, KGI students and alumni work at the intersection of science and business to harness such transformative possibilities as engineering solutions to global health challenges, bringing breakthrough drugs to market, and innovating approaches to reaching the underserved. At KGI, we leverage strategic thinking to expand our capacity for visionary change. Our unique programs blaze a great trail. Students in our signature Master of Business and Science (MBS)program develop the tools they will need to take discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace, integrating bioengineering with management, finance, and bioethics. Our innovative School of Pharmacy gives students a platform for active learning through hands-on, team-based classes, and critical access to industry stakeholders. KGI Ph.D. candidates hone their expertise in research areas relevant to applied bioscience, empowering them to advance exciting new applications with broad social benefits. Our Postbaccalaureate Premedical Certificate program (PPC) continues to solidify its exceptional track record for graduate placement: 81 percent of students completing the PPC gained admission to at least one medical school in the last year. In our Postdoctoral Professional Master's (PPM) program, scientists and engineers acquire the necessary business and management skills to pursue senior leadership positions within the life science industry or to launch entrepreneurial ventures geared toward commercializing new technologies. Through a new Master of Engineering Program (MEng) program that begins in Fall 2016, students deepen their understanding of molecular biology, biotechnology, and chemistry and how these subjects can be combined with creative, application-centered engineering. In Fall 2016, we announced two significant developments that signal the growth and success of KGI. The Claremont Architectural Commission approved the campus housing project, and we expected the housing to open in Fall 2018. We also announced that an Amgen gift of $1.5 million would fund a Master of Science in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling (MSGC) program to enroll its first students in the 2018-2019 academic year. Additionally, we have added a Master of Science in Human Genetics and Genomic Data Analytics (MSGDA) program to enroll students in the fall of 2018. Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) was founded in 1997 as the first higher education institution in the United States dedicated exclusively to education and research related to the applied life sciences. In its 20th year, KGI offers innovative postgraduate degrees and certificates that integrate life and health sciences, business, pharmacy, and genetics, focusing on industry projects, hands-on industry experiences, and team collaboration. A member of The Claremont Colleges, KGI employs an entrepreneurial approach and industry connections that provide students with pathways to become leaders in applied life sciences and healthcare. KGI consists of three schools: School of Applied Life Sciences, School of Pharmacy, and the Minerva Schools at KGI. We encourage our prospective students to learn more about our academic programs, discovering new passions that will take them into leadership roles within the applied life sciences or healthcare industries. In early 2002 these statements of Keck Graduate Institute's unique mission, its innovative culture, and the core values that underpin both were developed collaboratively by nearly all faculty, staff, and students then at KGI. We seek to embody these objectives and principles in both KGI's strategy and its every-day operations. As we gain experience, the statements will evolve and be further refined. KGI is committed to enriching society with breakthrough approaches to education and translational research. Diversity of backgrounds, cultures, disciplines, identities, and thoughts within our community catalyzes collaboration and excellence in all of our pursuits. KGI's welcoming, diverse environment allows our students to think creatively and critically, communicate and interact effectively, and act ethically and respectfully. The active and open-minded engagement of every member of our community is vital to achieving the institution's goals. KGI is focused on the success of our students. We aim to provide hands-on, team-based education with co-curricular opportunities and vital student support services to assist students through challenges they may face while enrolled in our programs. We aim to ensure that our graduates are prepared to become innovators and leaders and attain a steep trajectory in advancing their careers. After more than a decade of placing our alumni into leading life sciences and healthcare companies and regulatory, research, and consulting firms, KGI has proven that we have a recipe for success. The Claremont Colleges were formally established in 1925 under James Blaisdell, then President of Pomona College. Their constitution was a commitment to "found and develop new colleges and educational institutions or programs" as needs were identified and resources were made available. Seventy-two years later, it was Henry E. Riggs, then President of Harvey Mudd College, who identified the need that would lead to the founding of Keck Graduate Institute, the seventh and newest member of The Claremont Colleges. The need was a simple one: we need scientists and engineers who can help translate fundamental scientific discoveries into practical applications that will improve people's health.

Pacifica Graduate Institute is an accredited graduate school offering masters and doctoral degree programs framed in-depth psychology traditions. The Institute has established an educational environment that nourishes respect for cultural diversity and individual differences, and an academic community that fosters a spirit of free and open inquiry. Students have access to an impressive array of education resources on Pacifica's two campuses, both of which are located between the coastal foothills and the Pacific Ocean, a few miles south of Santa Barbara, California. Pacifica is a Mission with an Institute. The mission, "anima mundi calendar gratia," (tending the soul of and in the world) has inspired a literal host of others far and wide-those who now carries the fire of the vision itself. The intensity of that calling is the seed impulse carried within the dreams of many. When cultivated, this soul spark, rooted in the resonant psyche's energetic presence, opens to personal fulfillment and a more just and fertile planet. In an increasingly complex world, Pacifica's faculty, staff, alumni, and students' scholarship and service offer a soul-centered "intelligence" integral to what is being asked of us now. The mission of Pacifica Graduate Institute is to foster creative learning and research in the fields of psychology and mythological studies, framed in the traditions of depth psychology. By creating an educational environment with a spirit of free and open inquiry, consistent with the recognized values of academic freedom, Pacifica is dedicated to cultivating and harvesting human imagination gifts. These insights may influence the personal, cultural, and planetary concerns of our era. This dedication is contained in the motto: animal Mundi calendar gratia – for the sake of tending soul in and of the world. Pacifica traces many of its central ideas to the heritage of ancient storytellers, dramatists, and philosophers from all lands who recorded the imagination's workings. The legacies of these early men and women have evolved in multiple cultural contexts, including the systematic explorations of the unconscious by Freud, Jung, and other theorists of this century's psychologies. The concepts of depth psychology result from this long development and are at the core of Pacifica's orientation. These ideas – such as the importance of symbol and metaphor in personal and cultural imagery or the recognition of the dynamic interplay between the natural world and the world of the human psyche – are articulated in all of the Institute's programs. Pacifica students and faculty contribute further to this rich body of knowledge through the human imagination's intricacies. Extending the concepts of psychology and mythological studies beyond the personal, beyond the consulting room, and beyond the classroom, we see psychological life as an evolutionary development within nature, alive in all the phenomena and systems of our world. In studying and working with these multi-dimensional exchanges, we facilitate contributions to our world's contemporary concerns through dialogues between the psyche of the individual, the mythologies of the culture, the collective human imagination, and the living planet. Pacifica fosters an academic community environment that promotes a spirit of free and open inquiry to engage in the study of depth psychology, mythology, and the humanities. Our students have access to an impressive array of educational resources on Pacifica's two campuses located in Santa Barbara County, which include online library resources, writing support, student services, disability accommodations, transfer credit options, and a variety of transfer credit options between our masters' and doctoral programs. Pacifica's faculty bring a passion for depth psychology, education, and a wealth of real-world experience into the classroom. Many of our faculty are licensed psychotherapists, clinicians, MFT's, Certified Jungian Analysts, M.D.'s, and have a variety of publications and teaching backgrounds in and outside the classroom. These are just some of the reasons to choose the Pacifica Graduate Institute. The Institute has established a flexible educational environment and format that nourishes cultural diversity and individual differences. Our campus locations are breath-taking, retreat-like settings on the central California coastline with mountain and island views from each set. Accommodations and meals are provided during student residential sessions to enhance Pacifica's cohort model learning experience. Whether you are a recent graduate or have spent time away from higher education, we are pleased that you are interested in one of Pacifica's nine graduate degree programs. Pacifica Graduate Institute guiding motto is animal Mundi calendar gratia – for the sake of tending soul in and of the world. We believe in educating the whole person within a transformative environment. This includes the dynamic interplay of person, community, culture, and world, with all of the complexity and diversity of contemporary life. Throughout our nine programs, we foster creative learning experiences with research and scholarship through the discerning lens of depth psychology. With the creation of an academically rigorous, yet supportive atmosphere, we enable students to think critically, work soulfully, dream, and develop their collective imagination to transform into a scholar of depth. Students and faculty of diverse backgrounds contribute their perspectives and scholarly interests in creating a rich academic setting, allowing graduates to be successful in various career paths. Our alumni are known for excellence and achievement in their endeavors while supporting the mission of the Institute, tending the soul of the world. View full university

Federal Stafford Loans are available to eligible students through the Federal Direct Loan program.

Most students are eligible for Stafford Loans regardless of credit history, income level, or value of assets. Students can borrow a maximum of $20,500 per academic year. Student loan disbursements are received directly by LFGSM. LFGSM will use a student's loan disbursement to pay for tuition, fees, and other school charges for the academic year. If any loan money remains, the student will receive the funds by check or ACH. Currently, all loans carry a fixed rate interest of 5.84% per year. After a student graduates, leaves school or drops below half-time enrollment, the student will have a six-month grace period before loan repayment begins. During this period, the student will receive repayment information from the loan servicer, and the student will be notified of the first payment due date. Payments are usually due monthly. The Direct Loan Program offers several repayment plans designed to meet the different needs of individual borrowers. Generally, a student will have ten years to repay student loans for graduate school, depending on the repayment plan chosen.

Trinity Bible College and Graduate School (TBC & G.S.) are accredited by The Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) in Good Standing, which is an institutional accrediting body recognized by Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and is listed in the Directory of Higher Education, published by the U.S. Department of Higher Education (D.E.).

Every B.A. and A.A. program at Trinity includes a core curriculum of classes in Bible and Theology. Most B.A. programs of study include the Major in Biblical Studies, particularly those with a vocational ministry focus. Due to the educational requirements of the Teacher Education and Business Administration programs, most students will choose the Biblical Studies Minor; however, some may choose the Biblical Studies Major to have a broader Bible basis. These programs of study are designed to integrate faith and learning. As you explore the variety of undergraduate degree programs offered at Trinity Bible College & Graduate School, you will discover that each Bachelor of Arts degree program has a Biblical Studies Major or Minor coupled with another Major or a Minor. That is because we believe that the study of Scripture becomes the foundation for Christian experience and life. Trinity Bible College & Graduate School offers an M.A. (Missional Leadership), an M.A. (Global Theology), and an M.A. (Rural Ministries). Let me tell you why I am so enthusiastic about these degrees. We have a highly experienced and qualified faculty. We believe that contemporary cutting edge education should be presented by people who believe what they teach and live it. The MA (Missional Leadership) is an innovative and inclusive degree that equips people in any leadership sphere, particularly Christian leadership. After serving for seven years in the U.K. and Europe and being exposed to rampant secularism and the postmodern milieu, we have sought to develop a program that will help leaders in these challenging but exciting times. Trinity Distance Education (D.E.) provides education and training to students across our nation. Whether you are just starting your college studies or are returning to finish your degree, our D.E. faculty has designed TBC online studies to help you learn the information and skills needed for your future, either as a vocational minister or as a Christian leader in another profession.
