Course Description
In this 8-week academic course, students will be introduced to the nature of Cases of the Reincarnation Type (CORT) and Near-death Experiences (NDEs). Important features of convincing cases will be discussed as well as the methods researchers use to examine events that cannot be brought into the laboratory.
Do these phenomena provide evidence to support the survival of human spirit after physical death? What sort of questions must be considered when interviewing reports of CORT and NDEs? Are there specific indicators that a case is more than just imagination or creativity?
These questions, as well as descriptions of evidential cases will be presented and available for discussion in this course.

School of Consciousness Studies
Courses in the School of Consciousness Studies may be applied towards a certificate program or taken independently as continuing education courses.
The School of Consciousness Studies explores the nature of consciousness through the lens of parapsychology and a scientific approach to research and theory. The courses develop a foundation for the terminology, research methodology, theory, and the current state of the science of consciousness. Studies include explorations of phenomena related to ESP, mind-matter interaction, perceptions of time, the survival of consciousness beyond the physical body, altered states, and the relationship between these phenomena and other related topics in science such as evolution, psychology, and quantum physics.
In addition to studies of theory and phenomena, courses on research methodologies emphasize the approaches that are employed by parapsychologists, professional research and analysis techniques, ethical considerations, and the best-practices for designing and completing professional studies. Collaboration in research is encouraged including critical analysis, peer-review, and cooperative research designs.
Students in the School of Consciousness Studies are typically logic and science minded and are interested in developing a foundation for their own explorations into the nature of consciousness.
Major Areas of Study
Parapsychology (12 courses)
Research Methods (8 courses)
Theory (4 courses)
