Maharishi University of Management

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Maharishi University of Management (M.U.M.), formerly known as Maharishi International University, was founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who introduced the Transcendental Meditation technique. The campus is located in Fairfield, Iowa, USA, on the grounds of the former Parsons College.

The university is accredited through the Ph.D. level by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and offers "consciousness-based education", that includes practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique. Degree programs are offered in the arts, sciences, in business, and in the humanities.

Maharishi University of Management cites high rankings on "benchmarks of effective educational practice" from the National Survey of Student Engagement and also the results of the ACT alumni survey that show a high level of alumni satisfaction.

History

Santa Barbara (1973-1974)

The first campus opened its doors in 1973 and was located in a former residential complex in Goleta, a small community near Santa Barbara, California, with one hundred students and thirty-five faculty members.

History of the university campus and Parson's College

Due to an expanding student body and the need for laboratories, libraries, residence halls, and cafeterias, the university moved its campus in the summer of 1974 from Santa Barbara, California to the then-defunct Parsons College campus in Fairfield, Iowa.

Parsons College, incorporated February 24, 1875, was the result of a legacy from Lewis B. Parsons, Sr., a merchant committed to education and to Christianity, and who had throughout his business life successfully invested in wild, Iowa land. On his death, the sale of of undeveloped land was to provide for the creation of an institution of learning in Iowa.

The college opened in a building already on a site situated north of Fairfield, in September, 1875, and by December, of that same year, the college had moved into a newly completed building. The first president Rev. John Armstrong, A. M., and sixteen of the thirty trustees were required by the Articles of Incorporation to be members of the Presbyterian Church.
