Hi everyone, I recently came across Maharishi University and I'm interested in their unique approach to education. However, I want to make sure that they're accredited before applying. Any information would be really helpful!
Yes, Maharishi University of Management (MUM), now known as Maharishi International University (MIU), is an accredited institution. It is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which is one of the six regional accreditation bodies in the United States. Regional accreditation ensures that the institution meets high standards of quality and rigor in its educational programs, so you can trust that a degree from MIU will be recognized and valued by future employers and other educational institutions.
As you note, MIU is known for its unique approach to education, which involves incorporating meditation and other elements of consciousness-based education into more traditional academic programs. Even if you're drawn to this overall approach, as with any university, it's important to research the specific programs and offerings that interest you to ensure they align with your academic and career goals. I hope this information helps you with your college search!
