It was originally founded as the California Institute of Transpersonal Psychology by Robert Frager and James Fadiman in 1975.[1][2][3][4] HistoryCalifornia Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (1975–1986)The institution was originally known as the California Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, one of several transpersonally-oriented institutions formed in the 1970's.[5][6] The founders, Robert Frager and James Fadiman, wanted to offer the perspectives of east/west psychology alongside personal, therapeutic and spiritual disciplines, all within a community context.[1] In 1980 Jungian Analyst June Singer joined the core faculty at the Institute, where she took the position as director of the clinical training program.[7] By the mid-eighties the school was located in Menlo Park and offered graduate degrees in Transpersonal psychology and similar subjects.[8] Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (1986–2012)In 1986 the there was a minor change of name and the institution emerged as the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology.[1] By 1989 the Institute offered residential master's and doctoral programs and external master's and certificate programs, and oversaw the activities of a Transpersonal Counseling Center. It also hosted the Spiritual Emergence Network.[1] In 1992 the Institute was granted candidacy by WASC.[9] Also, that same year, William G. Braud and Rosemary Anderson joined the core faculty at the institution.[10] Braud later served as research director at the institute, as well as co-director of the institute's William James Center for Consciousness Studies.[11] In 1997 the institute was given initial accreditation by WASC.[9] In 1998 Braud and Anderson released the book Transpersonal Research Methods for the Social Sciences.[12] In 2002 it was reported that 410 students were enrolled in the fall semester at the institute. This included students enrolled in the institute's online program. At this time the institute offered programs in psychology and counseling with an emphasis on both traditional and non-traditional psychological and spiritual models of instruction.[13] WASC accreditation was reaffirmed in 2007[9] and in 2011 Neal King was appointed as President of the institute.[14][15] Other academic profiles that were connected to the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology includes Kari Hennigan, who conducted studies in ecopsychology,[16] and Fred Luskin, who was professor of clinical psychology.[17] Sofia University (2012–present)In 2012 there was a new change of name, and also a change of academic profile. The Board of Trustees decided that the new official name of the institution was to be Sofia University.[18][4][9] The re-branding came with a transition from institute to university, and the institution now offered both undergraduate and graduate programs. Academic programs became structured according to three main orientations: the Graduate School of Transpersonal Studies, the Graduate School of Clinical & Spiritual Psychology and the School of Undergraduate Studies.[14] In the mainstream press the institution was, by this time, associated with the concept of spiritual psychology.[19]{{ref|a|Note a}} In 2013 the school had 526 full-time-equivalent students.[14] Neal King resigned as President the same year, after a period of disagreement surrounding the budget. King was replaced by an interim president, Frank Ellsworth, who held the post until July the following year. His successor, Liz Li, was appointed president in 2014, and became the first female president of the institution.[20][15] Her successor was Barry Ryan.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}} As of 2015 the university was reaccredited for an additional seven years by the WASC Senior College and University Commission.[21][9] Dr. Peter Bemski became president in January, 2018.[22] Academic programThe university comprises four schools – the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, the School of Technology and Engineering, the School of Business, and the School of Transformative Education.[23][9] The school has broadened to include studies in computer science, including artificial intelligence, human computer interaction, big data and software design; applying transpersonal principles to real-world disciplines.[15] Notesa.{{note|a}} New York Times{{'}} correction as of August 17, 2012, states that the original article (Otterman, 2012), in some editions, misidentified Sofia University/Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto (California) with the Institute for Transpersonal Studies in Santa Cruz (California).[24] See also
