Program Costs

Application documents are provided at the link above.

Each Specialization below (Diagnosis, Design, Teleology) has a different cost because each requires different Phase training, internships, academic classes and lab work. The total costs below include all expenses charged at AGS. Additional expenses for travel, books, internet access and library or other resources, are the responsibility of the student.

NOTE: Students entering the program with a Bachelors Degree are responsible for costs below.
Students entering the program with a Masters Degree have advanced standing and will
only pay for 4 online classes.

Variable Expenses: Click on Required Travel for the time required for Phase training in Santa Barbara, California, and the internship time required at the client facility that you select.

Optional - To accelerate your program as described on these pages, check into our live seminars on Adizes and Spiral Dynamics. Seminars can be taken concurrently with other coursework, but a trip to Santa Barbara, California, would be required, adding to overall program cost.

Contracts should be considered carefully in structuring financial obligations. See notes below.

Internships MUST be set up immediately after
a student is accepted to the Adizes Graduate School.

Internship Set-up - Internships are the cornerstone of practitioner learning at AGS. The following special admissions requirements deal with the supervised Internships in each Doctoral track, and are required in addition to the requirements for admission to the Graduate School (see Application Process) overall.

After completing all of the application documents for the Graduate School and after being accepted, students....

will be directed to an Adizes Institute Office at which a personal mentor will be appointed.
will complete an interview regarding presentation skills, and negotiate and secure an employment contract with the Adizes office. The Graduate School is not party to employment agreements but the student will provide the School with a letter from the Office affirming that the contract has been signed.
negotiate and secure a client company in which to practice the adizes methodology via the three required supervised internships (observation or pre-internship, partial delivery, full delivery). The Adizes Institute office and mentor can assist the student with securing a client and a contract. If available, a client may be appointed to the student. The Graduate School is not party to client negotiations.
will sign an Enrollment Agreement for their first course and complete the basic Adizes course with a passing grade.

Securing Contracts - Internships cannot begin until the School receives a letter affirming that employment and client contracts are secured and the Adizes course (or Phase O Certification Exam) is completed with a passing grade.

Employment Contracts and Client Contracts:

1. The student is responsible for securing and maintaining a client host facility in which to intern. If the client withdraws from the program before all internships are completed, the student must secure another client site in order to continue. The Adizes Office will assist with negotiations in this regard, but it is the student's responsibility to create this opportunity for internship and the formal doctoral case study. The student should consider all related expenses and potential expenses when negotiating their Employment Contract with an Adizes Office or a host client. The Graduate School will not be party to these negotiations. In this regard....

2. If negotiated, it is possible that compensation may be provided during internships or tuition costs may be reimbursed. In addition, the student should recognize that -depending upon the client location, there may be requirements for travel in order to perform the internships, and travel to Santa Barbara for on-site classes is an additional expense. Any reimbursement or compensation is the responsibility of the student to negotiate within the parameters of their Employment and/or Client Contracts. Financial contributions to the students' program of study are neither promised, implied, or to be expected in any case. All financial obligations and potential for liability should be clearly understood and negotiated prior to taking the first course at Adizes Graduate School. The Graduate School is not party to these negotiations.
