Educational Opportunities in the Noetic Sciences
We are off and running in 2010. The Institute of Noetic Sciences is embracing the new decade with enthusiasm and a commitment to engage our global community in our research, educational programs and community outreach and engagement programs. In the coming year, we will launch a new interactive website, embark on a global outreach program and world tour, create an online store, offer a set of distance learning educational programs and continuing to deepen our cutting edge research.
Our goal in the blog is to address some of the most frequently asked questions about IONS and the field of noetic sciences. One important question we hear is " I was wondering if you offered degrees at IONS and/or do you have any recommendations for getting into the field of noetic sciences?"
To speak to the growing need and interest in Noetic Sciences, IONS will be offering a number of innovative educational programs. These include: life long learning, continuing education for health and healing practitioners and a K-12 curriculum on worldview literacy. This summer we are offering a train the trainers program for people who want to learn to teach worldview literacy. We are also excited to be starting a year-long blended learning program on the noetic sciences, which we will keep you updated on. We are also in the process of building some strategic partnerships to expand our educational programs and outreach to the world...more on this in coming months.
As people strive to move more deeply into the field of noetic sciences as a profession, we encourage you to earn an advanced degree in a traditional area that interests you, anything from psychology to physics, to anthropology, work towards a traditional career in those areas, do exceptional work and gain high credibility in your career, and then study or conduct noetic research on the side. Attend appropriate conventions, meet the leaders in the field, publish papers, and become known to leaders at the few institutes around the world that are conducting research in these areas to become a viable candidate when one the (very) few job opportunities arise now and then. This is how virtually all of the people working in the field today have obtained their positions, and this state of affairs is not likely to change any time soon.
We wish you the very best in your personal growth and career development. We look forward to engaging with you as the field of noetic sciences and the work of IONS continues to unfold.
