International Education

10. he USA's position as
Ta prominent
learning hub for
international students is a
result of its academic
excellence, cultural
diversity, research
opportunities, and
networking advantages. The
country's commitment to
nurturing global talent and
fostering innovation has
solidi ied its status as a top
destination for those
seeking a transformative
educational experience.
By choosing the USA as
their educational
destination, international
students embark on a
journey that not only
enriches their academic
knowledge but also shapes
their personal growth and
prepares them for success
in an interconnected world.
So ia University,
formerly known as the
Institute of Transpersonal
Psychology (ITP), is one of
the topmost names for
international students
seeking an opportunity to
get the highest quality
education in the United
States. It was founded in
1975 and is a private,
WSCUC-accredited
institution.
Historically, the
university's academic
emphasis has been on
providing graduate degree
programs in Transpersonal
Psychology. The university
de ines Transpersonal
Psychology as the scienti ic
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 since
broadened its program
offerings and has integrated
a transpersonal focus into
all its new degree programs
and disciplines, including
master's degrees in
Business Administration
and Computer Science and
bachelor's completion
programs in Business
Administration and
Psychology.
Fostering an Ideal
Environment for
International Students
International students, most
of whom are already
working in the industry,
need to learn leadership
and management skills in
order to excel and move up
in their chosen ields. So ia
University specializes in the
formation of authentic
leadership development. As
a school of transpersonal
psychology, it provides
students with an
opportunity to look inward
and seek out their own
personal leadership style.
Students are asked to
explore their own values
and their own sense of what
kind of authentic leader
they want to be in the

of transpersonal and

context of positive
psychology and
transpersonal theories of
personality and motivation.
Its international students
ind this sort of personal
transformational approach
a refreshing departure from
their previous, more rigid
learning experiences.
So ia's MBA program
provides the kind of
leadership training needed
for its students to move
effectively into management
roles.
Its curriculum is global by
nature. The university's on

and innovation allows it to
keep the focus on global
social justice in a way that
creates global change-
makers. Classes

internship to their
educational experience.
Students are also closely
supported by a very special
team of administrative
experts who make sure that
every aspect of the F-1 visa
experience is simple, easy,
and fully compliant.
International students
appreciate the lexibility in
how much time they can
remain in school. The core
MBA program can be
completed quickly in 18
months. However, all
students have the option of
continuing the degree by
enrolling in a data analytics
concentration, requiring
four more courses (two
terms). The data analytics
concentration track is STEM
certi ied.
After completing the 48
units for the MBA with the
data analytics concen-
tration, an MBA student in
good standing can enrol in
the 'Pathway' program for
the master's in Computer
Science degree. MBA
students can then continue
taking computer science
courses as long as they are
interested or until they
graduate with the MSCS
degree. This allows
international students to
pace their education and go
as quickly or as slowly as
they like.
Just this summer So ia's
Doctorate in Business
include the study of
sustainable product
development and the
circular economy, venture
capital and the inance of
developing sustainable
industries, the global
psychology of design
innovation, a close
examination of the UN SDGs,
and the development of
sustainable technologies.
Students get to know each
other over time as they
work in cohorts. Working
on collaborative
assignments, international
students have the
opportunity to learn with
other students from around
the world. International
students ind So ia

they can balance their work,
life, and education while
engaging with an extremely
gifted and diverse
community of learners.
Tailoring the Personalized
Needs
So ia University's MBA
program is structurally
tailored to the needs of the
international student.
Classes are offered both
fully online and in a hybrid,
residential modality, making
for a very lexible schedule.
Further, So ia offers a
robust work-integrated
learning program featuring
STEM-based programs; WIL
students take a course every
term where they apply what

integrated learning for
international students.
Impeccable Infrastructure
for Assistance
Its library offers research
assistance; interlibrary loan
(ILL) services (access to
articles and books that the
university doesn't have in
its collection); circulation
services, including print
books, DVDs & CDs; access
to electronic databases that
include thousands of
journals, electronic books
and full-text coverage of
dissertations and theses
from 1743.
The university's work on
equity, inclusion, diversity,
and accessibility is
grounded in the tenets of
transpersonal and
humanistic psychology. Its
mission, vision, and core
values have long re lected
its commitment to an
empathetic, compassionate,
and holistic view of all
human beings.
This shared history serves
as a solid foundation for its
work on EIDA. However, the

Administration was
approved by WSCUC, its
regional accreditor. The
program will build on the
authentic leadership
development approach in
the MBA by requiring
extensive leadership
training along with the
more traditional exercise of
learning to apply scienti ic
methods to a speci ic real-
world problem.
Students will produce a
dissertation demonstrating
a solution to a problem they
face in their everyday work.
Alongside the dissertation,
students will create a
professional development
plan showing how they are
going to become the kind of
change agent needed to be
able to effect the change
required by the scienti ic
study. Like the MBA, the

Provoking Critical
Thinking

experience working with
international students in
this county as well as
teaching experience at other
universities around the
world. Faculty know how to
craft assignments that
provoke thoughtful
discussions and critical

nature, its transpersonal
pedagogy is experiential,
immersive, and
transformative.
The university does not
give tests or quizzes.
Students engage in some
experiential activity, re lect
for a time, and then discuss
it with the instructor and
other students in a range of
different formats. This
approach puts the direction
of the learning very much in
the students' hands –
' lipping the script' it is
often called.
Exploring and sharing
their personal experience
and view of the world
allows students to bring in
what is familiar and make
the work meaningful. For
international students,
having this kind of learning
style suits their need to
explore and think critically,
bringing their unique
experience to the
discussion.

issues are evolving, the
language is luid, and the

Building
Connections Can
Shape University
Education and
Career

The Power of Networks
n today's
Iinterconnected world,
the value of building
meaningful connections
cannot be overstated.
Beyond textbooks and
exams, university education
offers a unique opportunity
to cultivate a network that
can profoundly shape both
academic pursuits and
future careers. This article
delves into the
transformative power of
networks in the context of
university education,
highlighting how
connections forged during
these formative years can

educational experiences, and
career trajectories.

25. Article

26. Personal Growth through
Connections
The journey through
university is not solely
about acquiring
knowledge; it's also about
engaging with a diverse
community of peers,
professors, and mentors.
These interactions expose
students to a multitude of
perspectives, enabling
personal growth and a
broader under-standing of
the world. Engaging with
individuals from different
backgrounds fosters
cultural sensitivity,
empathy, and open-
mindedness – qualities that
are crucial for success in an
increasingly globalized
society.
Connections with fellow
students often lead to
collaborations on group
projects, study sessions,
and shared extracurricular
activities. These
interactions develop
teamwork skills,
communication abilities,
and the capacity to work
effectively with diverse
teams – all of which are
attributes highly sought
after by employers.
Enhancing Educational
Experiences
Building connections
within the academic realm
can signi icantly enrich
one's university
experience. Professors,
who are experts in their
ields, offer more than just
lectures; they can provide
guidance, mentorship, and
insights that extend
beyond the curriculum.
Establishing a rapport with
professors can lead to
opportunities for research
assistance, independent
projects, and even
recommendation letters –
valuable assets as students
pursue higher education or
enter the job market.
Moreover, university
networks often facilitate
access to resources that can
enhance learning.
Discussion groups, peer-led
workshops, and
collaborative research
projects provide avenues for
students to engage deeply
with their subjects,
exchange ideas, and
collectively broaden their
understanding.
Networking for Career
Advancement
The power of networking
becomes particularly
evident when considering
career prospects. University
networks serve as
incubators for future
professionals, offering a
pool of potential colleagues,
mentors, and employers.
The relationships built
during university can have a
profound impact on one's
career trajectory, opening
doors that might otherwise
remain closed.
Career fairs, networking
events, and alumni
associations provide
platforms for students to
connect with industry
professionals. Engaging in
these opportunities allows
students to gain insights
into various career paths,
receive advice from
seasoned professionals, and
even secure internships or
job offers. Alumni, who
share a common bond with
current students, often take
a keen interest in offering
guidance and mentorship.
Global Reach and
Diversity
Modern universities are
melting pots of diversity,
bringing together
individuals from various
corners of the world. This
global atmosphere offers
students the chance to build
international connections
and establish a global
network. Interacting with
peers from different
countries provides insights
into different cultures,
perspectives, and ways of
thinking – essential skills in
a globalized job market.
Global connections can
also be instrumental in
exploring international job
opportunities,
understanding global
trends, and navigating the
intricacies of cross-border
collaborations. With the
world becoming more
interconnected, the ability
to navigate diverse
environments is a skill that
holds immense value.
Entrepreneurship and
Innovation
The entrepreneurial spirit
thrives within university
networks. Collaborating
with like-minded peers can
lead to the creation of
innovative startups and
ventures. Students with
complementary skills can
come together to bring their
ideas to life, leveraging their
connections to seek
guidance, funding, and
partnerships.
University incubators and
innovation centers provide
resources for aspiring
entrepreneurs to transform
their ideas into viable
businesses. The networks
formed within these
environments connect
students with mentors,
investors, and industry
experts who can provide
invaluable insights and
support.
Support in Challenging
Times
University networks extend
a safety net during
challenging times. Whether
facing academic dif iculties,
personal struggles, or
career uncertainties, the
connections established
throughout university can
offer guidance,
encouragement, and
solutions. Peers who have
gone through similar
experiences can provide
insights and reassurance,
reminding students that
they are not alone in their
journey.
Conclusion
Building connections during
university education has the
potential to shape personal
growth, enrich educational
experiences, and
signi icantly impact career
paths. Beyond textbooks,
these connections create a
supportive community that
fosters collaboration,
learning, and the exchange
of ideas. Nurturing
relationships with peers,
professors, mentors, and
industry professionals can
be instrumental in
navigating the complexities
of both academic and
professional life. As
students cultivate networks
that extend beyond the
con ines of campus, they tap
into the power of networks
that can drive success,
growth, and ful illment
throughout their lives.
