The Wright Graduate Institute for the Realization of Human Potential empowers individuals to realize their maximum potential in every area of life—self, work, family, relationship, education, society, and spirituality—through a holistic synthesis of the best human development theories and practices.

Wright graduates will understand the continuity of human development perspectives and concerns from classical to present times and recognize the rich history of and significant precedence for today’s technologies. With this understanding students will be increasingly able to extract and apply ancient, archaic, and forgotten methodologies and technologies and integrate them into cutting-edge, forward-thinking human performance philosophy and methodology.

Emerging technologies that would otherwise be ignored or delayed by traditional educational institutions—or severed from their academic roots by popular coaching and entrepreneurship programs and seminars—will be collected, assessed, validated where appropriate, developed, and promulgated into our world credibly and effectively, allowing people from various fields to move their disciplines forward.

The Wright Graduate Institute curriculum provides students with a unique opportunity to coordinate their academic coursework with training seminars offered by Wright Leadership Institute. Developed over the past 25 years, Wright Leadership Institute labs and seminars bring together the best human development philosophies (Adlerian, existential, and developmental psychology) and technologies (neurolinguistic programming, transactional analysis, effectiveness trainings, bioenergetics, group process, peer counseling, etc.).

The Wright Graduate Institute builds upon the existing Wright Leadership Institute training curriculum with traditional academic methodologies, providing graduate students the opportunity to engage in the underlying academic disciplines and conduct research to further develop the field.

Wright Graduate Institute students and faculty will contribute substantially to the field of Human Development and related areas such as education, psychology, sociology, anthropology, neuroscience, and business. Graduates will emerge as highly effective and competent professionals who understand the underlying theoretical foundations upon which the best human development practices are built, demonstrating that graduate degrees can combine academic and experiential learning with skill building to produce peak performers in various fields.
