Your education should enrich your life, not come at the expense of it.
MIU’s Positive Psychology & Consciousness program explores how we can learn, grow, and achieve without sacrificing our well-being in the process. Because education shouldn’t just prepare you for what’s next. It should expand your life along the way.

In a randomized controlled study of college students, researchers examined changes in brain functioning after students learned the Transcendental Meditation technique.

After 10 weeks, students practicing the TM technique showed increased scores on a measure of brain integration and decreased sleepiness compared with students in the control group.
For students balancing classes, deadlines, exams, and everything else that comes with college life, a clearer, more rested brain matters.

Why ask about accreditation? It determines whether you can use federal financial aid, whether your credits transfer, and whether employers and grad schools recognize your degree.

MIU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, the same accreditor as the University of Iowa, Northwestern, and the University of Chicago. That means MIU students are eligible for federal financial aid, and your degree carries the recognition of any accredited university.

What if your doctor prescribed art? 🎨

It’s actually already happening. Healthcare providers are increasingly using “arts prescribing” to support health and well-being.

MIU’s online Pre-Professional Art Therapy specialization combines creativity, psychology, and human development while preparing students for most graduate programs in art therapy.
