For entrance into the M.A. in Maharishi Vedic Science program, students must hold (1) a bachelor's degree or (2) a B.A. equivalent, which includes significant professional standing in Maharishi Vedic Science and successful performance on an entrance exam.

Students entering the standard 10-month program who are not yet practicing the Transcendental Meditation^® program will learn the Transcendental Meditation technique during the first few weeks on campus. Their first few courses will survey fundamental concepts of Maharishi Vedic Science.

Students entering the standard 10-month program, who already practice the Transcendental Meditation program and are fluent in Sanskrit, will take advanced courses involving deeper TM experiences and extended periods of reading Vedic Literature, as their first few courses. The two streams of students will come together for the remainder of the program.

It is recommended that all students in this M.A. program also practice the TM-Sidhi^®program. Those students who have not yet learned the TM-Sidhi program will have an opportunity to learn these techniques after they have enrolled.

Students entering in the nonstandard 3-year program must be practicing both the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs.

For students whose first language is not English, a TOEFL score of 600 is required for entrance into this program.
