Masters Degree Collaboration between
The CREATE Institute and the European Graduate School

The European Graduate School (EGS) recognizes The CREATE Institute as a provider of preparatory courses for the Masters programs in therapy, coaching and conflict transformation. CREATE students or graduates have the opportunity to acquire, through their course work at The CREATE Institute, EGS-recommended learning content towards their Masters degree at EGS. The CREATE preparatory courses are accepted by the European Graduate School towards the Masters program. The Create Institute itself does not award academic credit points.

In addition to their work at CREATE, students - once enrolled at EGS - must attend three 23-day summer seminars at EGS University in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and write a thesis between the second and third summers.

The European Graduate School is a private, not-for-profit university that offers Masters and Doctoral Programs in Expressive Arts. EGS is at the forefront of research and practice in this field. EGS faculty, including founders of the field of intermodal expressive arts, such as Paolo Knill, Margo Fuchs, Sally Atkins, Markus Alexander, Melinda Meyer, Stephen K. Levine and Ellen Levine, are internationally-known and respected for their innovative and creative teaching styles. The university is located in the small mountain town of Saas Fee, Switzerland, high up in the Swiss Alps. The town is car-free and is a spectacular environment for teaching and studying. EGS offers arts-based adult education within a learning-community.  More information about the Masters and Doctoral programs at the European Graduate School can be found at: www.expressivearts.egs.edu
