* Psychology: Many universities offer doctoral degrees (PhDs) in psychology, with specializations that might touch upon areas relevant to noetic science, such as consciousness studies, parapsychology (though this is a contested field), or transpersonal psychology.
* Philosophy: A PhD in Philosophy, with a focus on metaphysics or epistemology, might allow exploration of concepts relevant to noetic sciences.
* Holistic Health and related fields: Some institutions offer advanced degrees (Master's or Doctoral) in areas like holistic health, integrative medicine, or consciousness studies, which may incorporate some principles related to noetic sciences.
The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) itself doesn't grant academic degrees. They offer workshops, conferences, and research, but not formal degree programs.
Therefore, instead of a specific "highest degree in Noetic Sciences," you'd pursue a doctoral degree (PhD) in a related field at a reputable university, focusing your research and dissertation on topics relevant to the area of noetic sciences that interests you. The specific university and department would depend heavily on your area of specialization within this broad field.
