The lineage of Ubiquity University begins with the **University of Creation Spirituality (UCS)**: - Founded in **1996** in **Oakland, California** by theologian **Matthew Fox, PhD**, as a non‑profit graduate school focused on *Creation Spirituality*. - The school emphasized a **blend of intellectual and artistic learning**, balancing “left and right brain” approaches and integrating *art as meditation* into academic programs. - UCS offered master’s and doctor of ministry programs, originally accredited via partnerships (e.g. Naropa University).
Matthew Fox served as president and professor until 2005.
