California Institute of Integral Studies Outcomes

CIIS graduates enter careers in clinical psychology, somatic therapy, and alternative healing practices that often start modestly but grow over time. The median debt of $18,750 creates a manageable debt-to-income ratio of 0.38, well below the concerning 1.0 threshold. Monthly loan payments of $199 represent about 5% of median income, which is reasonable for most budgets. However, the 46% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially in their early careers. Many work in private practice, community mental health centers, or wellness organizations where income can be unpredictable. The 80% employment rate indicates good job prospects in the growing consciousness and wellness field. Overall, CIIS offers an average return on investment for those committed to alternative psychology careers.
