http://www.mum.edu  Former professional soccer player Rubén Sánchez Yepes (from Barcelona) talks about why he came to MUM.  "You start to think, 'I have to win, I have to get better,' and you lose the heart part....The opportunity at this University to focus on myself has accelerated my growth so I can give more to myself and the people around me."

At MUM, Consciousness-Based education connects everything you learn to the underlying wholeness of life. Each class becomes relevant because the knowledge of that subject is connected with your own inner intelligence. You study traditional subjects, but you also systematically cultivate your inner potential developing your creativity and learning ability. Your awareness expands, improving your ability to see the big picture and to relate to others.

Maharishi University of Management (MUM) offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the arts, sciences, business, and humanities. The University is accredited through the doctoral level by the Higher Learning Commission.

Founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the University features Consciousness-Based education to develop students' inner potential. All students and faculty practice the Transcendental Meditation technique, which extensive published research has found boosts learning ability, improves brain functioning, and reduces stress.

Maharishi University uses the block system in which each student takes one full-time course per month. Students report they learn more without the stress of taking 4-5 courses at once.

The University has a strong focus on sustainability and natural health, and serves organic vegetarian meals. The B.S. in Sustainable Living is MUM's most popular undergraduate major.
