First, I'd like to comment that BGSP is a Master's level Clinical Program, and does not offer an undergraduate degree. I have just completed the Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and am currently enrolled in the Clinical Doctorate program. My experience at BGSP has been one-of-a-kind. Coming in, I had the expectation to be emotionally transformed. After four years, I can attest that my worldview has dramatically shifted in ways that I did not expect. My time at BGSP has opened the door to developing and understanding a new language for the emotional experience. The knowledge and training BGSP provides cannot be found at a typical university or college; it is a unique and individual process that helps build a solid emotional framework that emphasizes the capacity to work with severely disturbed people. My educational and emotional life would be drastically dull without what I gained from my training at BGSP.

One big positive is that BGSP does not require the GRE. With that in mind, they include a variety of backgrounds from their students, ranging from archaeologists, to doctors, writers, and lawyers. They emphasize the study of a wide swath of social, political, and environmental critiques, thinking that a broad depth of knowledge is important in understand the human condition.
