Student-Centered Curriculum

Not only do our degrees fulfill traditional college requirements, but we offer a learning experience that prepares students to thrive in today’s social, economic and political uncertainty.

This is complimented by our small class sizes, individualized and flexible education plans to fit your unique college experience and aspirations.Wherever you want to go, whatever you are inspired to achieve—our goal is to help you find fulfillment and prosperity in the way that you choose.

“The focus on experiential learning here increases a student’s sense of self-awareness. There is an organic approach to individual growth versus just passing courses needed to get a degree. The unfolding and self-discovery that our college nurtures allows a student to develop naturally toward their chosen career path.”
—Celia Alvarez, PhD, Curriculum & Faculty Director
Universal Spirituality

Our approach to the higher education experience supports the spiritual and intellectual development of students. At Ananda College each student has the right to free expression and the opportunity for exploration, with the support of faculty and staff who have been on their own spiritual path for years.

Our campus community is full of diversity and non-sectarian philosophy, practices, and values reflecting the shared wisdom of all religions and traditions. We have helped many students seeking deeper truths in life, and a higher, more conscious awareness of their inner life and how it relates to the world around them.

“My life stopped being about me, it became geared towards serving others, serving God, and finding my Dharma. But I also wanted to have fun, be a college kid, and be with other young people my age and just have a spiritual blast!” Current Student
