A Transformative History
Sofia University, formerly known as the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP) and founded in 1975, is a private, WSCUC-accredited institution. Historically, the University’s academic emphasis has been on providing graduate degree programs in Transpersonal Psychology. We define Transpersonal Psychology as the scientific study of the full range of human experience, which includes the pain of trauma and dysfunction on the one hand and heights of creativity, intuition, and peak functioning on the other.
The university has diversified its program offerings and incorporated a transpersonal approach into all its new degree programs and disciplines. This expansion includes doctoral, master’s, and bachelor’s programs in Business Administration, Computer Science, and Psychology, as well as certificates in Dream Studies and Coaching.
