Higher Education for Higher Consciousness: Maharishi University of Management as a Model for Spirituality in Management Education

Dennis P. Heaton

Maharishi University of Management

St. Joseph’s University

The system of education at Maharishi University of Management (MUM) provides a model for management educators seeking to understand and teach spirituality. It locates transcendental consciousness—"pure spirituality"—at the basis of the universe and the human mind, experienced through the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program. Disciplines are taught as expressions of one unified field of consciousness. This integrated approach develops students who express "applied spirituality"— acting for the positive transformation of the quality of life for all. Research on educational outcomes at MUM gives evidence of cognitive, affective, and moral development in students. The authors offer suggestions for educators at other institutions.
