In 1971, Dr. Phillips founded the California Family Study Center (CFSC) as the only freestanding graduate program in the country dedicated solely to the field of human relationships. Built upon the family systems model, our graduate program in marriage and family therapy attracted a diverse population of students brought together by a shared passion for making a difference. As the program gained momentum, it quickly became known as a leader in mental health higher education across the profession. In 1996, in recognition of his innovative leadership, the Board of Trustees honored Dr. Phillips by changing the name to Phillips Graduate Institute.
Recently celebrating our thirtieth anniversary of excellence in graduate education and training, Phillips has grown from a small, single-degree granting institution to a leader in the industry offering multiple degrees at both the Master’s and Doctoral levels. Today, Phillips Graduate Institute remains on the forefront of confronting complex interpersonal and social issues, exploring new avenues for change, and ultimately creating academic programs that are shaped by the communities we serve.
