The temporary institution thus created shares, at both practical and metaphoric levels, aspects of the larger social world in which we live, and insight gained is transferable to a wide variety of real world settings.

Fielding Institute and Integral Institute

Santa Barbara, C A: Fielding Graduate University is offering a new certificate and concentration in Integral Studies through the Masters Degree in Organization Management and Development.

“Our program in Integral Studies is the first in America to offer academic credit toward a graduate degree (M.A.) and the only one to offer the convenience and worldwide network of distributed education,” said Dr. McClintock, Dean of Fielding’s School of Human and Organization Development.

The 36-week certificate program and the 21- month Masters Program will begin in fall, 2006. Courses are taught online in an interactive, intimate environment where students work in small groups. Opportunities to practice Integral techniques and apply Integral methods are included in the coursework.

Students who enroll in either of these programs will

• Acquire a deep knowledge base in Integral Studies from faculty trained at the Integral Institute.
• Receive supervision in integral practice and methodology from experts in the field.
• Develop the ability to apply integral techniques to support personal and professional development.
• Earn academic credit toward a Master’s degree at Fielding.

• Leadership and Public Policy, nationally and internationally
• Leadership and new initiatives in the private sector
• Leadership in academic institutions, NGOs, and capacity building
• Leadership, management, and corporate social responsibility

About the Global Leadership Forum

Professor Adel Safty, the founding UNESCO Leadership Chair, founded the Global Leadership Forum to promote a multidisciplinary and multicultural conception of leadership, when he was Head of UN Mission in Amman, and Director of the UNU Leadership Academy in the 1990s. The Global Leadership Forum emphasizes an inclusive approach to leadership in the public policy arena, the private sector, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations, in educational institutions, and in citizens’ associations. It seeks to promote Value Leadership by emphasizing the interconnectedness of peace, democracy and development, on the one hand, and the relationship between human development and leadership in whatever field, on the other hand. The GLF has been sponsored by the UN, the World Bank, the UNESCO, several governments, private sector corporations, and educational institutions, including the University of Bahcesehir; the Center for Creative Leadership, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA; and the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership, New York. Over the years the GLF has brought together distinguished political leaders, senior representatives of inter-governmental organizations such as the UN and the World Bank, distinguished scholars of public policy and of management, corporate and business leaders, students, and representatives of various governments from all over the world, and members of civil society organizations.
