What Can I Do With My Metaphysical Degree?: Graduates in Action (Worldwide) for examples of the various and diverse services our participating graduates are providing with the credentials they have earned through our university system.

The University is always striving to be proactive in meeting the future needs of our students and graduates and is happy to announce we have added three new Doctoral degree specialties to the University of Sedona:

Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D., specializing in Bible Interpretation
Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D., specializing in Metaphysical Science
Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D., specializing in Spiritual Healing

Doctor of Metaphysical Science, Msc.D.

Metaphysical science explores reality beyond what physics currently acknowledges and uses the knowledge gained to benefit life on earth, both individually and collectively. By its very nature, metaphysical science covers a wide range of subjects, such as yoga, astrology, polarity, karma, spiritual healing, tarot, graphoanalysis, quantum field, vibrational energy, and more. Although the range is wide, the basic denominator is the search for truth, purpose, and meaning in life, which cannot be isolated from basic spiritual questions. There are numerous career opportunities in this all-encompassing field of metaphysics, including teaching, spiritual counseling, life coaching, healing, ministry, and professional speaking, to name a few. This program is designed for students wishing to write books, teach, or minister in any metaphysical capacity in which they are called.

Doctor of Metaphysical Counseling, Mc.D.

Metaphysical counseling offers insights to explain those aspects of a person which exist beyond the senses’ ability to perceive, such as influences of culture, family, friends, the media, and religion. With a spiritual understanding of the world in which you live, you can begin to make adjustments in your life, for greater fulfillment. Metaphysical counselors also facilitate spiritual awakening and connection to “God, Source, All that Is, the Divine, Higher Power,” or whatever you choose to call the spiritual connection.

Doctor of Theocentric Psychology, PsyThD.®
Logo-Theocentric-Psychology-Uos

Theocentric Psychology, as developed by Dr. Masters, founder of the IMM University System, focuses on awakening to the innate potentials for benefiting a person’s life by focusing on Universal Presence or God at the center or nucleus of consciousness within oneself. It is not a practice of, nor seeks to replace, behavioral, clinical psychology or psychiatry dealing with mental illness or acute dysfunction. Instead, Theocentric Psychology seeks to greatly enhance or add to the lives of those who are relatively well adjusted but intuitively know they have a greater potential within themselves to bring forth and live more fulfilling lives. This could be in occupational or career pursuits, creativity and the arts, athletics, love within one’s life, as well as the God-Presence Benefits of inner peace and happiness that is lasting. A Theocentric Psychology doctoral degree best serves those whose focus is on the value of attaining enlightenment and/or the application of the KNOWINGNESS that ENLIGHTENMENT brings to all major areas of one’s life. View the curriculum here.

Course material includes 15 lecture videos, 30 instructional daily “Improve Your Life” audios, and 121 lesson modules. For additional information, a sample lecture, degree requirements, tuition, and enrollment, visit: https://universityofsedona.com/theocentric-psychology-faqs/

Additional Doctorate Enrollment – Theocentric Program
  • Current students can add the Doctor of Theocentric Psychology degree to their existing doctoral program. By doing so, they can earn two doctorates and may work on either one first. To begin the enrollment process, click the purple button above.
Doctor of Divinity, D.D.

The Doctor of Divinity degree is usually chosen by someone who already has already established a ministry or church or is planning to do so. A degree in divinity can be directed toward a particular religion or be metaphysical in nature. Those interested in direct research or writing about a particular aspect of ministry, such as New Testament and early Christian studies, ethics, religion, gender and culture from a metaphysical perspective would do well with this degree.

Doctor of Divinity, D.D., specializing in:
Bible Interpretation

The study of the Bible is the soul of theology. If this degree is chosen, the student will be looking at word definition, usage, context, historical background, logic, precedent, and inference relating to biblical interpretations. This degree is chosen by those wishing to specialize in researching, teaching, and writing about biblical symbolism to uncover spiritual truths for spiritual reawakening and life improvement from a metaphysical or mystical perspective.

Spiritual Healing

The channeling of healing energy, or prana, from its spiritual source to someone requesting it is called spiritual healing. The healing energy comes through the healer from a higher source––Universal Consciousness, Infinite Universal Energy Source, or God––and not directly from the healer. Methods of healing can include spiritual mind healing, absent healing, passing over of the hands, and more. Note: metaphysical treatments can complement medical treatment, which may help prepare the body for healing, while metaphysical treatments direct Universal Consciousness to do the actual healing.

Doctor of Theology, D.Th.

The Doctor of Theology degree is usually chosen by someone who already has an established ministry or church or plans to do so. The minister or future minister will be doing a theological study within a particular religious tradition such as the Hebrew Bible, New or Old Testament, from a metaphysical perspective.

Doctor of Metaphysical Hypnosis, Mhyp.D.

Metaphysical hypnosis is a natural, yet spiritual, form of suggestive therapy. If this specialty is chosen, teaching self-hypnotic techniques as a means of reprogramming positive spiritual truth and a method of release into higher meditation consciousness will be the goal. An MP3 or MP4 of hypnotic induction for self-hypnotic conditioning must be submitted with the Doctoral Dissertation.

Important Note: The awarding of this degree does not give one the legal right to practice hypnotherapy. This degree offers ministerial ordination that specializes in doing pastoral educational counseling or teaching in the spiritual uses of self-hypnotic practices.

Doctor of Metaphysical Psychology, Mpsy.D.

Metaphysical psychology means the particular way that an individual interprets reality by integrating intuitive, God-directed awareness into their physical life. This degree is chosen by someone wishing to specialize in educational counseling, life-coaching, teaching, writing, and ministry by applying higher metaphysical spiritual truth to improve life, love, success, and happiness.

Important Note: The awarding of this degree does not give one the right to practice as a psychologist. This degree signifies a person with ministerial standing having studied the psychology of metaphysically oriented pastoral counseling. See Pastoral Counseling offered through the University of Metaphysics.

Doctor of Holistic Ministry, Mh.D.

Good for anyone who wishes to have a more holistic-oriented ministry emphasizing the whole person and health-based on a blending of body, mind, and spirit.

Doctor of Philosophy, D.Phil.

The Doctor of Philosophy degree is designed to equip students for creative scholarship, independent research and effective teaching and philosophical ministry. The program prepares students for teaching, for specialized church ministry, scholarly writing, lectures, courses, and seminars probing life’s realities to better understand how to improve human life.

Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D., specializing in:
Bible Interpretation

This degree is chosen by those wishing to specialize in researching, teaching, and writing about biblical symbolism to uncover spiritual truths for spiritual reawakening and life improvement from a metaphysical or mystical perspective. To earn this degree, the student will study word definition, usage, context, historical background, logic, precedent, and inference relating to biblical interpretations. This degree is more philosophical and academic in nature than the Doctor of Divinity in Bible Interpretation, which targets ministry.

Conscious Business Ethics

This degree is ideal for those who manage an organization, those who plan to or already are coaching others on best business practices and policies, those who operate their own healing or counseling center, and those who simply wish to improve the quality of their own work environment. Establishments with managers and employees who operate based on Higher Consciousness decision-making and actions, rather than ego-based behaviors, experience higher levels of success, a more satisfied workforce, growth and longevity. When companies practice mindful awareness, they do what is best for the whole by considering the impact on their staff, customers, the environment, and their community for each choice made. Leading by example, these mindful intentions when implemented, ensure a strong foundation of integrity, support, good-will and ethical behavior that flourishes and sets a business standard going forward. An individual with this degree would have the knowledge and skills to help integrate these components into a company’s culture, mission and day-to- day operations.

Conscious-Centered Living

This degree focuses on bringing Higher Consciousness, or God’s Inner Presence, in to every aspect and every moment of one’s life and helping others do the same through spiritual counseling or by example. Through spiritual practices and God-centered mindful awareness, one learns to identify the limiting behaviors, emotional reactions, and judgments of the ego and, instead, choose one’s own actions based on mindful living and the loving influence of the all-powerful, ever- present Universal Mind. Conscious-Centered Living goes beyond asking, “What would God do?” to eventually knowing the highest spiritual path for every situation, every decision, and every deed––and characteristically acting accordingly. This degree specialty takes Holistic Life Coaching and Counseling to a higher level of spiritual evolution.

Comparative Religion

Comparative religion is a field of religious studies that analyzes the similarities and differences of themes, myths, rituals, and concepts among the world’s religions. It is an ideal specialization for students wishing to specialize in researching, teaching, and writing about the comparison of various religious teachings to the basic teachings of the IMM – where metaphysics has evolved into a religious faith among many people.

Holistic Life Coaching

Holistic life coaching is based on a whole person concept of working with the body, mind, and spirit, or God. This is usually a one-on-one process. A holistic life coach will discuss what is happening in the environment and the experience of clients, underlying and limiting beliefs, and develop a spiritual practice that works for the client – within their own religion or faith. Generally speaking, a coach will work with someone on a subject or topic related goal, establishing the best route to the achievement of that goal. Another scenario is in helping the client clarify or establish clear goals with emphasis on God’s Inner Presence for achievement.

Holistic Life Counseling

Holistic life counseling is based on working with the whole person; body, mind, and spirit. Counseling approaches and techniques are used to help clients uncover what past experiences are currently impacting their lives. This includes the spiritual release of past negativity and the inner transforming power of universal God Presence.

Metaphysical Counseling

Metaphysical counselors help clients to discover the root cause of their beliefs and to develop strategies to change those beliefs. Metaphysical counseling is a holistic approach using metaphysical tools for healing such as dream interpretation, spirituality assessment and awareness, meditation, prayer, affirmative thinking, and other similar methods.

Metaphysical Parapsychology

Metaphysical parapsychology is a discipline that seeks to investigate the existence and causes of psychic abilities, near death experiences, life after death, and other similar studies using scientific methods. Metaphysical parapsychology uses psychic mystical research as a means to greater spiritual truth and discoveries.

Mystical Research

This degree is appropriate for someone who wants to specialize in experimentation and research into mystical, transcendent consciousness as a means to higher spiritual truth and union with God, or Universal Consciousness. Research in this field usually centers on a practice or practices intended to nurture those experiences or awareness. Mystical research can encompass such topics as Kabala, Sufism, Vedanta, Hinduism, Christian mysticism, Gnosticism, and others. A guided, mystically oriented meditation as an MP3 or MP4 file must be submitted with the dissertation.

Metaphysical Science

Metaphysical science explores reality beyond what physics currently acknowledges and uses the knowledge gained to benefit life on earth, both individually and collectively. By its very nature, metaphysical science covers a wide range of subjects, such as yoga, astrology, polarity, karma, spiritual healing, tarot, graphoanalysis, quantum field, vibrational energy, and more. Although the range is wide, the basic denominator is the search for truth, purpose, and meaning in life, which cannot be isolated from basic spiritual questions. There are numerous career opportunities in this all-encompassing field of metaphysics, including teaching, spiritual counseling, life coaching, healing, ministry, and professional speaking, to name a few. This program is designed for students wishing to write books, teach, or minister in any metaphysical capacity in which they are called.

Pastoral Counseling Psychology

In choosing the pastoral counseling psychology degree, the student will be discussing the work of caring for, understanding, and exploring how human beings function as individuals, in families, in small groups, and in the greater community. The student will be exploring what psychological, behavioral, social science research have to say regarding pastoral concerns (local, institutional, societal, political, international, and so on).

Important Note: The awarding of this degree does not give one the right to practice as a psychologist. This degree signifies a person with ministerial standing having studied the psychology of pastoral counseling.

Spiritual Healing

The channeling of healing energy, or prana, from its spiritual source to someone requesting it is called spiritual healing. The healing energy comes through the healer from a higher source––Universal Consciousness, Infinite Universal Energy Source, or God––and not directly from the healer. Methods of healing can include spiritual mind healing, absent healing, passing over of the hands, and more. Note: metaphysical treatments can complement medical treatment, which may help prepare the body for healing, while metaphysical treatments direct Universal Consciousness to do the actual healing.

Transpersonal Counseling

Transpersonal counselors use various depth psychologies and techniques to help clients such as analytical psychology based on Carl Jung’s work, archetypal psychology of James Hillman, spiritual psychology of Robert Sardello; psychosynthesis founded by Roberto Assigoli, and the theories of Abraham Maslow, Stanislav Grof, and others. Transpersonal counseling is an eclectic field that studies the transpersonal, self-transcendent or spiritual aspects of human experience. Transpersonal counseling is concerned with the study of humanity’s highest potential, attempting to describe and to integrate spiritual experience within modern psychological theory.
