The California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) is a private university in San Francisco, California.[1][2][3] It was founded in 1968. As of 2020, the institute operates in two locations: the main campus near the confluence of the Civic Center, SoMa, and Mission districts, and another campus for the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Potrero Hill neighborhood.[4] As of 2020, CIIS has a total of 1,510 students and 80 core faculty members.[5]
Although the institute has no official spiritual path, some of its historical roots lie among followers of the Bengali sage Sri Aurobindo.[6] The term "Integral", in the school's name, refers to Aurobindo's Integral Yoga (purnayoga), here interpreted as the integration of mind, body, and spirit.
