Why Study at MUM?    
Five Reasons to Study Here

Academic Excellence


At Maharishi University of Management, we maintain a strong focus on the development of consciousness while offering in-depth, rigorous inquiry into all academic disciplines. MUM students receive full career preparation, a state-of-the-art educational experience, and full support in developing the intellectual faculties necessary to succeed in the working world.
 
MUM's unique context for learning trains students to think at the deepest level, providing a lifelong frame of reference for excelling in a chosen profession.
 
As a student at MUM, you'll receive direct, small-classroom instruction by experienced faculty, many who have earned the highest possible degree in their fields and possess practical, real-world experience. Our faculty are dedicated to what they do, and are very good at it.
 
Consciousness

It’s no surprise that when you get a good night’s sleep, you are a sharper, more attentive student. We've all experienced good and bad days, with varying levels of energy and clarity of mind. But what if energy and clarity of mind could be enhanced in some way? A way that was natural and effortless? What if your degree of alertness, or consciousness, was a matter of choice rather than based on variables such as how much sleep you got the night before?
 
The uniqueness of MUM is predicated on the fact that just such a choice exists. It comes in the form of the Transcendental Meditation® program, which enables you to be literally "more conscious" during the day. With more conscious alertness to bring to bear on learning and comprehension, you simply learn more, learn faster, and retain it longer. 

Creativity

Creativity is a fascinating and in some ways misunderstood concept. Some people see it as a sort of freedom, an ability to come up with unconventional, out-of-the-box solutions. Others see it as the exclusive province of artists, writers, and performers. MUM’s perspective is that every profession and every human being needs to be able to access a deep well of creativity within in order to meet life's challenges.
 
Since MUM students experience the infinite source of creativity within by doing Transcendental Meditation twice a day, they spontaneously and naturally bring that quality out into activity. MUM students and scholars enjoy enhanced creativity throughout the day.

 Quality of Life

In  looking for the right school, people typically evaluate academic programs, career outlooks, faculty, costs, and so on. But none of these things can give a tangible feeling or sense of what life will be like at that school on a day-to-day basis. It matters a lot more than you might think what kind of peers you'll be around, what kind of "you" they will be studying with, what kind of professors you will have, and what kinds of activities will be available to you.
 
Due to the experience of transcending in meditation, the habits and desires of MUM students tend to be life-supporting and constructive. Living in a drug-free, alcohol-free MUM environment enables students to more easily make healthy decisions for themselves.
 
New MUM students often express a sense of amazement at the friendliness, alertness, and upbeat supportiveness of the students here. Why is that? It’s because MUM students are committed to personal growth and learning. The stress level is lower here than at other schools. There is a predominance of expansion. Being around MUM students tends to be exciting, intriguing, and supportive of growth and positivity. MUM's is a highly supportive environment. That’s the MUM version of student life. We welcome you to experience and contribute to it. 

Choosing Greatness

By choosing MUM, you are not only selecting a school that offers high-quality academic learning and the opportunity for profound personal growth; you are also laying a foundation for a successful life going forward. Typical qualities developed by MUM students include self-sufficiency, flexibility, creativity, and the ability to create frictionless interactivity — all highly valued by employers and extremely useful for budding entrepreneurs. By attending MUM, you will be gaining valuable knowledge and practical toolsets that will enable you to reach your full potential as an employee, supervisor, employer, or entrepreneur. In making the decision to come to MUM, you are making a decision to become the greatest possible version of you.
