Partial Scholarship
UMS offers a partial scholarship which waives the $50 tuition down payment on the long term plan, allowing you to get started by making your first monthly payment of $25 USD. (Initial payment is $100 with the postal add-on.)
If this scholarship would be helpful to you in getting started with the program, we encourage you to apply.
Please submit the scholarship application after you have submitted your enrollment form.
*Scholarship applies to the long term plan only.
Help Spread the News About UMS!
Currently enrolled UMS students have the opportunity to receive tuition credit by helping distribute UMS course catalogs in their local communities.
If you feel inspired to help introduce others to the University of Metaphysical Sciences, we can send you a box of our course catalogs to distribute to thoughtfully selected locations such as metaphysical bookstores, coffee shops, yoga studios, health food stores, and other businesses where people interested in spirituality and personal growth are likely to visit.
For complete information and to volunteer, please visit our Catalog Distribution Program page.
Is there an option to attend on campus courses or is everything online?
Thank you

Hello Christine-
Thank you for your inquiry! The entire program is done through correspondence- either online or through the mail. Please email ums@umsonline.org if you have additional questions.
Blessings to you!
This is so wonderful!!!! I will be enrolled shortly. So excited!!!!
Blessings. I just don’t know if I want a PhD, or start with the bachelors degree? I want to practice crystal healing.
Hi Mary-
All students begin at the bachelor’s level, regardless of previous experience or education. Our program is very unique, and this is the only way we can be sure that all UMS graduates have completed the same course of study. Our curriculum is very well-rounded, covering many different metaphysical topics. I have never known a student to wish they hadn’t started at the bachelor’s level! If you haven’t already, take a look at the bachelor’s curriculum, and the master’s curriculum, to see what we have to offer. If you have questions, an advisor would be happy to speak with you. We can be reached at 707-822-2111, or by email at ums@umsonline.org.
Blessings!

Hi, in the pricing it is mentioned that it is for all the program. Please clarify if it includes both batchlors and masters both?
Hi Mona,
The pricing shown on the Payment Plans page is for all three degree- bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate. One price, three degrees! Feel free to contact our office with additional questions. We can be reached by email at ums@umsonline.org, or by phone at 707-822-2111.
Blessings!

Hello!its not clear if the price here is for all 3 degrees or if it’s for one degree that we choose to take on… also I’m a bit confused… is the price at the start the original price and then after the discount that’s the price of the course itself? And then more money is included for when we need to pay for course materials? Is that it? Usually course materials and course prices come together tho. A bit confusing and not very flowy or directive … the instructions I mean.
Hello~ The prices listed on our payment plans page are for all three degrees- bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate. The prices listed in the charts for each payment plan indicate the price based on how you receive your course materials. You can choose to download all course materials, download written material and received CDs in the mail, or receive all course materials through the mail. Those prices are different because it costs us quite a bit more to send material through the mail than to have you download them. I hope that helps clarify! If you have further questions, feel free to give us a call at 707-822-2111, or email ums@umsonline.org.
Blessings!

Hi blessed be. I would like to pursue 10 hours of studying each week as I’m self employed and have a lot of time on my hands. I was hoping to apply for the partial scholarship but I understand it states that scholarship is for the long term plan. Is there no way to work trade/scholarship for a short term plan? I can afford the $75 monthly payment just not the $300 down payment.
Hello and thank you for your question! We do not offer a scholarship for any plan other than long term. However, on the long and medium term plans you are able to make payments at an accelerated rate in order to receive more courses. For instance, if you enroll in the long term plan but pay $75 per month, you will receive 6 courses (2 courses x 3 $25 payments). For further discussion about your options, I invite you to call our office at 707-822-2111 to speak with an advisor.
Blessings!
Judy, UMS Advisor
I have a question regarding the long term monthly payment plan. If you are able to pay the balance in full sooner can you do so? Would the price be lowered or would you have to pay the full amount for the long term payment plan?
Hi Angela,
If you enroll on the long term plan, and are able to pay your balance off within one year, the total cost of tuition would be reduced to the short term plan rate. Likewise, if you were to pay it off within 2 years, that total cost of tuition would be reduced to the medium term plan rate.
If you have further questions, feel free to email us directly at ums@umsonline.org

I’m moved beyond words. Thank you for this program and pricing. I’m crying and feeling joy and anticipation. No college coursework that I’very found, has ever offered the studies I need, until now. Certainly not at a price I can actually afford. Being able to complete my degrees quickly means I can restart my life after age 50 and still have time for a new career. I am humbled.
…Thank you
Hello Brigitte, Thank you for being in touch, and for your beautiful sharing. Please let us know how we can support you in getting started.
Blessings!
Devon Love, UMS Advisor
I feel the same. Humbled. How is your practice going?
Hi,
I was just wondering.. How long does it take (on average) to finish these 3 degrees? Because the payment is for 4 years? Are these actual REAL degrees? Because in my country, a bachelor degree at a university is 3 years, a master 1 or 2 years and a PhD another 4 years (all these with full-time studying)
Kind regards,
Claudia
Hi Claudia,
Thank you for your interest in UMS! Students take anywhere from 1 year to 4 years or more to complete the program. It depends on how much time you have to devote to your studies, and which payment plan you choose, since each plan releases a different number of courses with each payments.
These are real degrees. The distinction is that they are considered by the Department of Education to be “religious” degrees, as opposed to academic degrees. It is true that an academic degree would take much longer to complete, and would also be viewed differently. The UMS degree program is specifically designed for students wanting to work in spiritual / metaphysical fields. For more on this, I suggest visiting the Careers in Metaphysics page.
Feel free to give us a call at 707-822-2111 or email ums@umsonline.org with further questions.
Blessings!

Hello,
I am from British Columbia, Canada.
My question is if the prices are in USD? If they are what would they be in CAD?
Thank you
use this currency converter to get prices in all different currencies, works great! https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/
Is this program something that I can use fafsa/financial aid for?
Thank you for your question! Since we are considered by the Department of Education to be a religious school we are not eligible to receive those funds. However, we do offer payment plans which spread the cost of the program out over 1, 2, or 4 years. Visit the payment plans page for more information.
Blessings!

Can I pay the price for tuition at one time in one payment. I’d rather not have to pay monthly. Thank you!
Yes, just look at our payment plan page, or contact our office! It’s easy!
After receiving your Doctorate are there any further requirements? I was going to enroll with a different school but they required you to enroll in some sort of ministry program and pay an annual fee each year.
You are offered the option of being ordained by Wisdom of the Heart Church upon completion of the master’s program. There are no fees beyond your tuition (and courses if you choose to have them sent to you through the mail), and no requirements beyond those to complete your degrees. Feel free to reach out with further questions to ums@umsonline.org.
Blessings!
Once we are completely done with all 3 degrees, there is no further financial commitment, correct?
Also, how long does each course take?
Once you have paid in full for the program (pricing here) there are no further costs.
The courses vary a great deal in length from one to the next. On average you can expect to spend 4-6 hours per course (including the meditations). I encourage you to check out the sample courses and meditations to get an idea of what to expect from the program.
Feel free to call 707-822-2111 or email ums@umsonline.org with additional questions.
Blessings!
Do you all accept financial aid?
Thank you for your question! Since we are not a Title IV school we don’t qualify for government grants or loans. Hopefully our low monthly pricing options will help. Feel free to contact us if you have questions at 707-822-2111 or ums@umsonline.org.
Blessings!
Hi!
I already have a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s certificate. Do I still need to do all3 degrees in your program?
Because of the unique nature of our curriculum, we require all students to begin at the bachelor’s level. This program is so different from an academically based, secular process, and offers great value for students to progress through all levels. The bachelor’s level is the inner journey, with much self-inquiry and exploration of consciousness, as well as lots and lots of information spanning the field of metaphysics. The master’s level takes this process even deeper, and also prepares the student to teach or become a professional in the field. The Doctoral level shows the students deep dedication and commitment to the field of study, and brings a high degree of professionalism to the graduates credentials.
Many students who enroll have advanced degrees, and this is a frequently asked question. We respect and honor the previous journey, education, and life experience of each student, but we think that you will agree after the fact that the benefits of this entire process are very powerful and transformational throughout, and worth the time and intention expended.
I hope this is a helpful, though a long winded explanation 🙂 Feel free to reach out with additional questions.
Blessings!
Yes because our curriculum is very different than any other school, and we need to be sure that all our students have the same education. The meat of the education is in the Bachelors and Masters curriculum so no one can just start at the PhD level. The classes are enjoyable and if you have knowledge of metaphysical things already you will breeze through them! They act as a reference section for your bookshelf for the rest of your life as well, and there are meditations that go with a lot of the courses that you will enjoy as well!
Hello UMS,
I am a naturopath, reiki master, shamanic healing practitioner and meditation facilitator. I am interested with the topic of Christ Conciousness, Divine Mercy and Contemplative Spirituality. I wonder if the courses at UMS can provide teachings about those topics?
Do ordained ministers of the Wisdom of Heart Church need to pay yearly membership fee?
Thank you.
Hello,
Our curriculum covers a wide array of metaphysical topics, including many healing modalities. We may touch on them briefly, but we don’t have any courses specifically on these topics. I encourage you to take a look at the curriculum for both the bachelor’s and the master’s levels. All courses listed on these pages are required curriculum, so reviewing these lists give you a good idea of whether UMS is right for you.
Ordained ministers of Wisdom of the Heart Church do not have to pay a yearly fee to remain in good standing.
Feel free to reach out with additional questions.
Blessings,
UMS
Is there a governing body for intuitions or schools in this type of study? Typically college and universities have some sort of accreditation. How does that apply in this arena?
Hello,
Since we are a “Religious Exempt” university, we do not qualify for the same type of accreditation that secular institutions can apply for. We do have accreditation granted by the AADP and AAMA, two agencies that were established to evaluate and offer accreditation to metaphysical schools and practitioners. You can learn more on our accreditation page.
Feel free to reach out with additional questions.
Blessings,
UMS
