Why we came to MUM

http://www.mum.edu An alternative university -- self exploration, active learning, sustainability, natural health, organic vegetarian meals. Consciousness-Based education focuses on developing each student's inner potential through the natural, effortless practice of Transcendental Meditation. Block system -- by taking one full-time course per month, students eliminate the stress of homework and exams in 4 or 5 classes at once. Students learn more... without the stress. Accredited through the doctoral level by the Higher Learning Commission.

This video was filmed by MUM students.

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.

@truelovewaits23 You might want to check out another video on our channel: A Day in our Lives. Two of our students taped a typical day, so this video gives a picture of what it's like to be a student at MUM.

@bladdan Check out our video "ADHD: Meditation, not medication."

@MaharishiUniversity i have ADD, can tm help me to get my life back, i just cant concentrate

[MaharishiUniversity]

@bladdan There are 67 studies that show negative effects of TM; all but 4 of them are individual case studies. For those individuals, were they already unstable? Did they follow their TM teacher's instructions?

Taken as a whole – for example, in Eppley's meta-analysis of 147 TM studies – overall the results are positive. (Eppley is from Stanford, not associated with TM in any way.)

TM teachers aren't psychiatrists, but they are trained to recommend when a person may need professional help.

@bigpj09 A lot of our students are transfer students, for just the reason you said: most colleges seem to think that stress and anxiety are the way to learn. Here we try to make sure that you're challenged without being overly stressed.

Most of our athletics are pretty informal, but we do have a competing soccer team, which has students from all over the world on it. In fact, I just interviewed a former professional soccer player from Spain – you'll be seeing that on our channel soon.
