Making it easy for transfer students
If you transfer in 60 or more credits, the degree can be completed in four semesters. (Transfer students can inquire with their admissions counselor to learn the exact number of credits needed to graduate.)
The TM technique as a tool for better mind performance
The “secret sauce” of the program is the Transcendental Meditation® technique, which people like Ray Dalio, founder of the largest hedge fund in the world, and Tim Ferriss, author of The Four-Hour Work Week, use to keep their mind sharp and their emotions in better perspective.
This evidence-based technique has been proven to lower stress, enhance mental clarity, and support overall health. It’s kind of like a “brain laser beam.” After meditating regularly, our students often say that they feel more creative, peaceful, and better able to tackle their studies without the stress typical of a college education.
