Consciousness-Based Education
We recognize that everyone has an infinite field of creativity, intelligence, and happiness within. We expand the traditional scope of education to nurture the whole person through a holistic education that integrates the growth of consciousness with cutting-edge knowledge and invaluable career skills, including Transcendental Meditation®.
TM is an effortless mental technique that relieves stress, promotes wellbeing, improves learning ability, and increases academic and job performance. Introduced to the west by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, our university’s founder, over 380 peer-reviewed scientific studies have been completed and show the benefits of this simple mental technique.
A peer-reviewed paper published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress found that after practicing TM for 3 months, half of the veterans who participated no longer met the diagnostic criteria for having PTSD, compared to only 10% of those who received standard trauma based-therapy.

“I joined the Master’s in Software Development (MSD) program in February 2021 and will graduate in August 2022. What I appreciate most about MSD is the quality of our professors. They are passionate about the material they teach and that shows through. It’s very clear from day one. The way they teach helps me stay interested. They enjoy the material and set the example through their dedication and level of knowledge. They are at the top of their profession. All of them. I have not met one professor who is not at the top of their profession in the unit they are teaching.
Also, the small class size and intimate atmosphere is something you don’t get at large universities. A lot of guys who have been in the military don’t want to be in a huge massive university. In the military we are trained in small units and they favor smaller units. I taught in the Navy and always had around 12 people in my classes.”
