California Institute of Integral Studies

What are the graduation rates for students at California Institute of Integral Studies?

Graduation outcomes at CIIS require more context than a single four- or six-year undergraduate rate can provide. The institution serves many transfer and graduate students, while the standard federal undergraduate graduation-rate measure follows a narrower group: first-time, full-time degree-seeking entrants.

IPEDS recorded no first-time degree-seeking undergraduate entrants for the reported 2024-25 enrollment measure, alongside 26 transfer-in undergraduate entrants. Those entry figures are not graduation rates. For a useful picture of completion, applicants should seek outcomes for their intended degree, including typical time to completion and, for programs requiring clinical training or a dissertation, how those requirements affect the timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at California Institute of Integral Studies?

College Scorecard field-of-study data reports $38,244 in earnings one year after completion for CIIS students in "Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies, Other." This is a program-field outcome at a specific point in time, not a salary forecast for every CIIS student or graduate.

The figure should not be applied to counseling, psychology, or another field without a corresponding measure for that program. Earnings data also cannot show the full range of work arrangements, later career changes, or the effect of additional licensure and training. Applicants comparing programs should weigh these limits alongside program cost and the qualifications needed for their intended occupation.
