What is Consciousness-Based education?

http://www.mum.edu MUM students and faculty talk about their experiences with our unconventional approach to education. At MUM, Consciousness-Based education connects everything you learn to the underlying wholeness of life. So 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 course at a time. 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.

[Gik1618]

Finally, an actual educational institution that provides more than cosmogonical brainwashing! It's about time students were given the tools and personal space for metaphysics and holistic learning, as opposed to mainstream, compartmentalised "education" that offers nothing more than the right amount of knowledge to work the controls in society.

I think this is the future but most places are not ready for it. Where I live, students just want to get drunk.

consciousness-based education is the best thing since sliced bread.

from my own experience with TM, the practice alone cultivates one's ability to see the connection to the 'big picture' with everything one learns

i think i would've enjoyed going to MUM had I understood and known more about it back when
