Areas of Study

Inner Peace in a College Setting

Intellectual stimulation and future employment are worthy objectives that every college must address. At Ananda College, we approach these goals within a broader context of preparing students for a lifelong process of learning and successful living.

By cultivating such important values as personal initiative and creativity, emotional sensitivity and spiritual awareness, we help students prepare themselves for the ultimate task of finding meaning and fulfillment in life. We’re unique because the spiritual dimension of life is fully acknowledged in the classroom. Some classes may fulfill traditional college requirements, but others offer a new approach to academic learning.

In this environment students discover actions and attitudes that bring a sense of inner peace, well-being and happiness.

Our unique campus offers a rare opportunity for experiencing the contemplative life alongside a dynamic learning environment that promotes leadership and intellectual inquiry. Here, living within a spiritual community dedicated to simple living and high thinking, a student will gain a new perspective in modeling global communities of the future.
