Akasha University of Metaphysics serves a select constituency. An applicant must have established a career focus and demonstrated a capacity to benefit from higher education to be admitted. Therefore, the curriculum has been designed to expand, enrich, and integrate the knowledge and awareness of these mature and accomplished individuals. Admission is continuous and programs are designed for self-paced learning at a distance.

The curriculum design is based on the following assumptions:

Individuality

1. Each person is unique; each individual's background provides him or her with a personal array of abilities and interests which is different from any other's.

2. An individual's life experience is most satisfying and productive if he or she can acknowledge and develop this personal pattern of abilities and interests.

3. Education can and should be based on, draw forth, and facilitate the development of that individuality.

4. It is a proper role of higher education to enhance and refine this process for individuals, so that the individual can expand professional productivity and acceptance, and make personally meaningful career developments.

Integration

5. There are many aspects to an individual's life experience; one's interest and activity at times focus on considerations of health, family, recreation, spirituality, etc.

6. All aspects of an individual's life experience can be integrated so that they mutually support and facilitate one another.

7. Education can and should help an individual develop this personal integration and support.

8. It is a proper role of higher education to challenge the individual to develop more effective and comprehensive integration of body, mind, and spirit, which are the significant dimensions of personal life experience, so that the individual can develop more clear and personally relevant goals and a lifestyle which is more satisfying, healthful, and effective in supporting the individual's movement toward those goals.

Independent Study

9. The potential sources of ideas and information relevant to an individual's interests may be many and varied.

10. An individual's activities can be most satisfying and productive if that person can investigate these sources effectively.

11. Education can, and should, provide guidance in making such investigations broad in scope and efficient in process.

12. It is a proper role of higher education to stimulate, guide, and acknowledge independent study, and intellectual and experiential inquiry which is self-designed and self-motivated, so that the individual can engage in self-designed and self-motivated intellectual and experiential inquiry which is comprehensive in its sources, efficient in its methods, integrated in its personal involvement, and effective in its outcome.
