The Transcendental Meditation technique

All students at Maharishi University of Management practice this simple technique twenty minutes twice a day to develop their inner creativity and intelligence and to increase their mental clarity and ability to function effectively under stress. We encourage you to learn the technique from a qualified teacher in your country of residence before you enter our program. If you learn the Transcendental meditation technique after you arrive on campus, a $1500 instruction fee will be debited to your student account. This amount will be added to the loan that you will take out when you are placed in a practical training job.

The cost of learning the Transcendental Meditation program in your country of residence is paid directly to the Transcendental Meditation teacher and is not a part of your tuition payment.

In order to verify that you have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique, an "Admission Supplement" form must be sent to the Compro Admissions Office. You should download the form at http://www.mum.edu/ftp/supplement.pdf , fill out the top part, then give the form to your teacher to submit directly to us.

To find a qualified teacher in your country, please see www.tm.org. In India, see <http://www.maharishi-india.org/institutions/i4/index.html >.

Special instructions for students from Ethiopia and Nepal:

Applicants residing in Ethiopia and Nepal are required to learn the Transcendental Meditation technique in their home country, and practice it regularly there before we grant final acceptance to the Computer Professionals Program. Please contact your Admissions Representative to find a qualified teacher.

"The courses at M.U.M. are quite new and are relevant to the market in the USA. We can tell the employer about the courses and course material and they are at once willing to hire us. Especially the object oriented technology based courses are wonderful and very helpful."
