Two Reasons Why |
|
|
|
|
|
1.Why should I study business?
Business skills are in demand in every sector of society. The motto of
our School of Business Administration is, “We help you make your dreams
come true.” Business is a wide field with many opportunities for every
type of individual, whether you’re a people person, an idea person, or a
hands-on technical type.
2. Why should I study business at MUM?
Entrepreneurship offers the ability to create a completely new business
or a new line of business within an existing company. Creativity and
out-of-the-box thinking are the norm at MUM. All of our students
practice the Transcendental Meditation technique, which develops that
settled, quiet state of awareness from which all great ideas emerge. The
TM technique is also a great help in fostering the kind of personal
development that reveals one’s innate strengths, and will aid you in
finding the right career path.
At MUM, we’re very committed to sustainable business development, which
will help put humanity back on a track that will bring happiness and
fulfillment for many years to come. |

Specific Learning Outcomes |
|
|
|
Each academic program is oriented toward the achievement of specific student learning outcomes through active learning projects that take the student into the real world of business.
The bachelor’s program develops the knowledge needed by an entrepreneur and culminates in the student’s presentation of a business plan to a panel of local entrepreneurs.
The flagship of the MBA program is a specialization in sustainable business with options for specialization in business process improvement, accounting, and management information systems.
The PhD in Management prepares researchers who can enrich the understanding and practice of sustainable business with new knowledge about the highest levels of performance for the individual, the team, and the organization as a whole.
Consciousness-Based Management
All of these programs are taught as Consciousness-Based ManagementSM, which is the knowledge of the total intelligence of nature and its organizing power. The founder of our university, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, was a great sage, scientist and educator from India. In his revitalization of the knowledge of consciousness from the ancient Vedic tradition, he showed that natural law automatically manages the infinitely complex and evolving universe without strain and without mistakes.
By studying the theoretical and practical aspects of Consciousness-Based Management, including the Transcendental Meditation®
program, students personally grow in better health, clearer thinking, greater creativity, moral reasoning, and wisdom. They integrate the study of contemporary developments in the discipline of business with the practice of the Transcendental Meditation program and their experience of the source of the infinite organizing power of natural law.
Research has shown that a natural result of the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique is an appreciation for one’s environment and more harmonious interpersonal relationships. As a result, students in the Business Department have a broadened awareness of their place in the world and understand the importance of making a positive, sustainable contribution to society.
