Awakening your total potential

Consciousness-Based education develops your mind and body as the basis for creating sustainability in the world.

One course at a time

Our students take one course at a time — they’re immersed full time in the course for about 4 weeks — and then move on to the next course. This means they never have the stress of homework and exams in 4–5 subjects at once.

This system is immensely popular with our students — they find it’s the most effective and easiest way to learn.

The University’s commitment

The University serves organic vegetarian meals daily — often with locally grown produce — and we’re committed to applying the principles of sustainability to our own campus to the maximum extent possible.

Option for one-year MBA

Upon graduating, students have the option of taking a one-year MBA with Sustainable Living emphasis. Requisite undergraduate courses are needed for this option.
