Course Description
As the first undergraduate program of its kind in the United States, the Bachelor of Science in Psychedelic Studies will provide students with a comprehensive foundation in indigenous history, ethnobotany, anthropology, neurobiological and medical characteristics, social, political, legal, and ethical roles, as well as the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances. Students will gain knowledge that prepares them for graduate study, as well as for active roles and successful careers in a society where psychedelics are becoming increasingly available.
The B.S. in Psychedelic Studies provides a unique opportunity at the undergraduate level to integrate the latest research in psychedelics with the capacity to understand the cultural, global, political, ethical, therapeutic, spiritual, agricultural, neurobiological, and emotional contexts in which that research resides.

About Instructor
Tatayo (“Fruit of the Wind”) first arrived in Gabon in 1971 at the age of 21 and became a Gabonese citizen. In 1979, he became the first white person to be initiated into the Bwiti Fang tradition in Gabon. In 1994, he was initiated into the Misokko tradition. As a guide for numerous expeditions and missions, including those of National Geographic, the BBC, and others, Tatayo is considered to have “opened the door” to westerners in Gabon.
