The Master of Arts in Learning and Thinking (M.A.L.T.) is a 36-credit degree program that embraces a philosophy of education rooted in relationship, holism, and meaning. MALT is predicated on establishing a New Culture of Learning that develops the knowledge, skills, competencies, and imagination for a world in constant flux. Towards this end, the program nurtures the emergence of a collegial learning community dedicated to co-creating new meaning within a constructivist and transdisciplinary context.
MALT’s Postmodern Learning Model seeks to promote a New Culture of Learning through the following Six Central Themes:
Program participants are introduced to a critical examination of American education, with particular emphasis on the fact that the current model leaves students at a disadvantage that can only be remedied by a significant change in the way we structure and approach learning and thinking. What is needed today, more than ever, is a shift in the way we understand what today’s youth need in order to take a more participatory role in constructing their learning and developing competency in using the thinking skills required to become self-regulated learners.
MALT offers educators a framework for real and effective educational transformation. This framework consists of a shift towards a more post-modern process and learner-based approach for education that, unlike the current “one size fits all” instructivist model, provides constructivist-learning opportunities for a diverse and unique population of learners.
The overall curriculum is based on a progressive postmodern framework and delivered in an articulated, scoped and sequenced series whereby the nature of learning and thinking is presented as a holistic, emergent and creative process. Therefore, the flow of the program emerges over time from the following premises:
The Graduate Institute is a state-accredited graduate school dedicated to promoting an Integrative and Holistic Worldview through the study of Health, Wellness, Education and Personal and Professional Transformation.
Our Mission
The Mission of The Graduate Institute, as an independent institution of higher education, is to provide transformative education based on an integrative and holistic perspective and specifically designed to enable students to reach their full potential in both their professional and personal lives.
Our Vision
Academic scholarship and education based on an integrative and holistic worldview will enhance a broad understanding of complex human issues, stimulate individual and collective awareness and wellbeing, and contribute to the betterment, sustainability, and regeneration of community and society.
Learning in Community
The Graduate Institute values the power of community. We believe that we learn more effectively in groups than we do by ourselves. Because of this, we conduct all of our programs in cohorts -- groups of adult students that establish a collaborative learning environment. The cohort model fosters dialogue and the vibrant exchange of ideas, helping each learner create meaning on a personal level while remaining connected to their larger group. This makes the learning process dynamic, relevant, and humanized.
Cohorts also create continuity in our master’s degree and certificate programs. By completing an entire degree program with a close-knit group of adult learners, students are able to thrive and grow in the safety, trust, and camaraderie of their community. In the cohort, each voice is respected and each student contributes to individual and collective growth and discovery.
A World of Support
At TGI, learning doesn't end in the four walls of the classroom. Our faculty and administration are always available to guide and support students during their studies. We also provide the following resources to ensure that what students learn at TGI will serve them in their personal and professional endeavors:
