Receiving Your Ordination Through University of Metaphysical Sciences

Students of University of Metaphysical Sciences receive Ministerial Ordination through Wisdom of the Heart 501(c)3 (Minister or Reverend) upon completion of the Master’s degree. Graduates of University of Metaphysical Sciences have the legal right to use their degree titles in spiritual and metaphysical contexts. You also receive a practitioner’s certificate which allows hands on healing.

In becoming ordained, graduates make an agreement to serve the highest good of themselves, their families, communities, and the planet. It is, in essence, a spiritual agreement/commitment. We offer this recognition along with the master’s degree because our graduates who have attained this degree have shown a high level of dedication to their own personal and spiritual growth. They have shown that they are on a deeper journey of the heart, mind, and spirit, focused on finding their life purpose in service to humanity.

Becoming ordained gives the authority to assist people through life transitions such as weddings, blessing ways, baby blessings, coming of age rituals, life transitions, and any other life events for which one would like to offer support. It also bestows the authority to start a non-profit, offer spiritual counseling, and start non-profits in one’s community to support those who are in need.

The final course for the masters degree is Becoming a Spiritual Teacher and Leader. It is a comprehensive manual answering many questions about what it means to serve in this way, what options there are, the legal aspects, 501c3 status, as well as providing outlines and ideas for ceremonies and rituals. Topics covered include:

  • Creating a Ministry
  • Starting a Non-Profit
