• Progressive, supportive campus community

MUM is the only accredited university offering Consciousness-Based education to develop the inner potential of each student. Students discover how each field of study is connected at the deepest level of their own Self, making learning more satisfying, relevant, and exciting.

All students and faculty at MUM practice the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM). Extensive research has found the TM improves creativity and learning ability, and reduces stress.

MUM offers a range of undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the arts, sciences, business, and humanities, including Sustainable Living, Vedic Science, and Media & Communications.

MUM uses the block system — our students are fully immersed in one course each month, and then move on to the next course.

The block system is immensely popular with our students because they learn more, and it eliminates the stress of taking 4–5 subjects at once.

MUM's campus community is deeply committed to sustainability and natural health. The university filed an ambitious climate action plan to reduce carbon emissions in the next several years, including a target of reducing electricity usage 70% by 2011 and reducing combustion emissions 50% by 2014. The plan sets a goal of a 100% overall reduction by 2020.

MUM students come from throughout the United States and around the world. More than 70 countries are represented on campus.

The new Sustainable Living Center at Maharishi University is designed as a building that teaches. Every aspect of its construction and operation is an example of accessible "green" construction. It's completely off the grid: power, water, heating, cooling, waste disposal.
