One Course Per month

MUM uses the Block System — our students are fully immersed in one course per month, and then move on to the next course.

The Block System is immensely popular with students here because they learn more and integrate knowledge more effectively, and it eliminates the stress of taking four or five subjects at once.

Maharishi University	Other Colleges
You take one course full-time each month, making learning more enjoyable and less stressful.	Meaningful learning is difficult, because your attention is scattered among different subjects.
Between each 4-week course is an extended 3-day weekend, with no classes or homework.	Stress of homework and exams in 4–5 subjects at once — all year long.
You learn more with less effort, allowing for lots of active and collaborative learning.	There is always work, and final exams, hanging over your head — all semester long.

“What I got was a sense of community and the desire to make a social impact. “
Heather Hartnett
BA, Business Administration, 2005

"One of the reasons I can maintain a high level of creativity across my projects is due to what I learned at MUM."
Benek Lisefski,
Website Developer and Designer
Bachelor of Fine Arts, Digital Media, 2005
