Study Humanistic Studies at Saybrook University

Saybrook's Humanistic Studies program offers online learning and Residential Experiences in the US for international students to study holistic development.

Build a Stronger Global Community

For 50 years, Saybrook University has empowered students like you to create a more sustainable, just society. Rooted in the humanistic tradition, our education will empower you to actualize your full potential to make positive changes in yourself and the world around you.

Through our online and hybrid-online master’s, doctoral, and certificate programs, you will experience a holistic approach to psychology, counseling, mind-body medicine, integrative functional nutrition, social work, and more.

A Flexible Education For Your Convenience

Saybrook University is a pioneer of online and hybrid instruction. You may learn best from the comfort of home or have prior commitments you cannot break; to accommodate your learning habits or busy schedules, we humanized the virtual learning experience, creating an online environment to rival that of any physical campus.

Residential Learning Experiences bring students, faculty, and impactful speakers together in the U.S. for a week of safe and supportive academic, professional, and personal exploration that can change your life. This is your chance to meet your classmates and instructors face-to-face—to form genuine, lasting relationships that you will continue to cultivate with each successive conference.

We understand that you want to join a school that encourages individuality while preparing you to make a real difference. It is our mission to help our students studying in the U.S. maximize their potential while realizing their true passion. As part of that mission, we offer our students distinctive online learning models, exciting Residential Learning Experiences, and remote networking opportunities that give our students the chance to grow and learn.
