You may have heard of Maharishi International University, the Iowa-based university, where all students practice the Transcendental Meditation technique daily. This university is the pioneer of Consciousness-Based education, a system of education focused on inner growth that is a more natural, less stressful alternative to the traditional college experience.
Now, you can attend MIU without having to make the move to campus. With MIU’s online learning programs, you can experience Consciousness-Based education from the comfort of your own home.
MUM currently offers three Masters degree programs and a wide selection of short, non-credit courses. An online undergraduate program is currently in development.
