About MIU
Home of Consciousness-Based Education
Campus life at Maharishi International University (MIU) is characterized by a unique blend of academic rigor, personal growth, and holistic well-being. Founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, MIU is a non-profit university that offers both on-campus and online degree programs accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
At the heart of MIU’s approach is Consciousness-Based Education, which includes the practice of Transcendental Meditation® to promote self-knowledge and inner growth. This method is integrated into the daily life of students, fostering a supportive and positive community.
The university operates on a block system, allowing students to immerse in one course per month. This focused approach reduces stress and eliminates the need for finals week, making learning more manageable and effective.
MIU’s campus culture is inclusive and dynamic, committed to sustainability, wellness, and positive values. The university emphasizes natural health and wellness, offering organic vegetarian meals and promoting innovative sustainability practices. Students are encouraged to engage in various extracurricular activities, enriching their campus experience and nurturing their individual talents.
