Maharishi University of Management offers green MBA

Students at Maharishi University of Management are aligning life in accord with Natural Law in two ways: 1) through their practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Programme and TM-Sighi Programme including Yogic Flying, and 2) through their study of sustainable living. Undergraduate students can enrol in the Sustainable Living programme; and now MBA students can choose to graduate with a specialization focusing on sustainability. This green MBA provides an effective way for MBA students to prepare for careers in the growing fields of sustainable management and environmental science.

The green MBA specialization is offered in conjunction with the undergraduate programme in Sustainable Living. The programme supplements the focus on sustainable management in the regular MBA with specific courses in sustainability. Students take the required courses for the MBA and three courses in sustainability to receive a specialization in sustainable management.

In addition, students have the option of taking five courses in sustainability to earn a certificate in sustainable management. This degree can be completed in two years, but students with a strong background in business may complete the MBA programme with a sustainable management certificate in one year.

Student Robbie Gongwer, who plans to do green consulting, is among the first to take advantage of this new specialization. He says that the concept of a green MBA is spreading rapidly around the country, and he appreciates the added value of a Natural Law perspective at Maharishi University of Management. ‘I came here because of the value of understanding Natural Law,” he says. “I felt I needed to align myself with that.’

The sustainable management certificate or specialization prepares graduates to create sustainable businesses, recognize the business potential of emerging technologies, and to make decisions that include sustainable considerations.

In the field of management and business, Maharishi’s Vedic Science emphasizes, first and foremost, the importance of the manager’s own consciousness. When his awareness is aligned with the Unified Field of Total Natural Law, the manager makes right decisions, which benefit his company and the whole environment as well. In the past, managers were without the knowledge and practical technologies for aligning their awareness with the field of Total Natural Law within at the source of thought. When life and business was not in accord with Natural Law, problems, such as global warming and effects of chemical pollution ensued.

Our generation is now working to correct the mistakes of the past. Fortunately, it now has the tools of Maharishi Technologies of the Unified Field to return life to balance, in accord with Total Natural Law. The MBA graduate, with a sustainable management certificate, will manage both his own life and his business to function in accord with Natural Law. In this way, his life and work can bring a significant contribution to recreating balance, growth, and prosperity in the world.
