The European Graduate School (EGS) is a cross-disciplinary institution of higher education awarding Masters and Doctoral degrees within its two divisions: Arts, Health and Society (AHS), and Philosophy, Art and Critical Thought (PACT).[2] Founded in Switzerland, the School operates on two locations: Saas-Fee, Switzerland and Valletta, Malta.

The EGS is a privately funded international graduate school founded by the non-profit European Foundation of Interdisciplinary Studies. It is licensed as a university in Malta.[3]

Programs

The Arts, Health, and Society Division was established in Saas-Fee, Switzerland in 1994.

The division of Philosophy, Art & Critical Thought focuses on socio-political, philosophical, and artistic inquiry.[4] Faculty and guest lecturers give three- to six-day courses during four-week summer seminars. Visiting faculty have included Giorgio Agamben, Chantal Akerman, and Pierre Alféri.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Studies involve two years of coursework, including online writing requirements based on a reading list, and two three-week summer seminars in Switzerland, during which students are evaluated for their participation in nine hours of seminars and lectures each day. They spend their final three years writing a thesis or dissertation, followed by a traditional oral defense.[11]

Status

EGS is licensed as a university in Malta[3] and is recognized in the Swiss canton where it operates,[12] but is not recognized by the Swiss University Conference, the main regulatory body for universities in Switzerland.[13] In the US, the State of Texas includes the European Graduate School on its published list of institutions that issue "fraudulent or substandard degrees" and notes that it is illegal to use an EGS degree to obtain employment within the state, though its status is "under review" as of 2016.[14]
