Public university in St. Joseph, Missouri, home to Dr. Christine Ziemer's pioneering undergraduate courses in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and transpersonal psychology covering psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, and ayahuasca research and therapeutic applications. Dr. Ziemer founded the Psychedelic Educators Network, serves as executive director of the Psychedelic Society of Kansas City, and supports harm reduction through the Fireside Project and Zendo Project, making Missouri Western a notable hub for Midwestern psychedelic education.
Missouri Western State University is a mainstream public university that has carved out a genuinely unusual niche in psychedelic education through Christine Ziemer’s undergraduate teaching in transpersonal psychology and psychedelic science. It sits closer to an academically grounded public-university offering than a specialist training school: useful for students who want evidence-based, classroom-led exposure to the field, but not a standalone psychedelic-therapy credential. Its reputation rests on academic novelty, harm-reduction framing, and Ziemer’s visible presence in the wider psychedelics education network.
Best for undergraduates and other learners who want an introductory, academically framed understanding of psychedelic science, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and transpersonal psychology. It also suits students from psychology, nursing, biology, philosophy, and related fields who want to explore the topic inside a conventional university setting.
PSY 270 requires PSY 101. PSY 275 requires PSY 101. The course description also says PSY 275 is beneficial to students across several majors, but it does not set professional licensure or clinical entry requirements for enrolment.
Missouri Western State University is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Its psychology courses are part of a state-supported public university curriculum, but the psychedelic classes themselves are not described as a separate certified professional training, CME, or CE programme.
Missouri Western does not publish a single programme price for its psychedelic-related coursework. As a public university, tuition is charged through standard undergraduate tuition and fees, and the university notes that mandatory fees are included in tuition tables while programme and course-specific fees may vary.
Learners walk away with undergraduate academic exposure to psychedelic science, transpersonal psychology, risk reduction, peer support, and the legal and scientific context of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. The outcome is course credit and disciplinary literacy, not a standalone clinical certification.
