“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” ~Aristotle

UMS offers its program through distance learning only. All studies can be completed in the comfort of your own home; you are not required to travel to our location at any time during the course of your studies.

Our main office is in Arcata, California. Our bachelor’s, master’s, and all doctoral degrees except the Ph.D. degrees, are through California; the Ph.D. degrees through Minnesota. University of Metaphysical Sciences operates under religious exempt status, meaning that UMS is exempt from registration and licencing through the Department of  Postsecondary Education in each state.

The intention behind the UMS program is multifaceted. It creates an opportunity for people who are seeking truth and desiring to awaken their consciousness to access affordable and high quality information, meditations, support, and guidance. It also provides excellent training for spiritual teachers and leaders to gain confidence as professionals in the field of metaphysics. Finally, UMS provides a path for expansion of the field into a truly respected area of research, as more and more people begin to directly experience the infinite nature that is the truth of who we are, and to be inspired to write about, teach, and practice the tools that support and expand this awareness.
