One Course at a Time
The Block System
Our students take one course at a time — they’re immersed full time in each course for 4 weeks — and then move on to the next course.
This “block system” is immensely popular with our students, because they find it’s the most effective and satisfying way to learn.
| Maharishi University | Other colleges |
|---|---|
| You take one course at a time for enjoyable, stress-free learning. | Stress of homework and exams in 4–5 subjects at once |
| You learn more with less effort — and this system allows for lots of active and collaborative learning. | 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. | There is always work hanging over your head — all semester long. |
