Applied Mindfulness Studies (MA, Ph.D)

The Engaged Mindfulness Institute is collaborating with Ubiquity University to offer graduate degrees (MA, PhD) in Applied Mindfulness Studies. By combining EMI’s comprehensive mindfulness training with UU’s academic rigor, students have a unique opportunity to achieve advanced academic credentials while deepening their mindfulness teaching and practice.

Go Deep to Go Far

The partnership between Ubiquity University (UU) and EMI enables students who have enrolled in and completed EMI’s MTT coursework to pursue graduate credentials, including MA, PhD, and a combined MA/PhD track. Learners will complete course content from EMI and can level up to a graduate degree from UU upon completing additional course work and their thesis or dissertation.

​

​For almost twenty years, Ubiquity University has been a global provider of transformational  higher education. Each year, through its degree programs, events, and 20,000+ member community platform, it educates and empowers people who wish to serve a new world  paradigm.The Ubiquity Graduate Program combines the US and European designs of graduate programs with a blend of taught learning with research and writing. The thesis or dissertation must demonstrate excellence at every level. It must show awareness of the history of the literature in your particular area; demonstrate careful analysis and understanding of the field in question; and, most importantly, show how your insight can be applied to the real world. The dissertation must be scholarly and utilize extensive bibliographical data and footnotes. It should, in other words, be an impeccable work of research.
