Restrictions Applicable to Continuing
Education Students

Some courses that require formal admission to Maitripa College may not be available to Continuing Ed students. Scholarship assistance is also not available to continuing ed students. Priority in classes is given to full-time program students; therefore Continuing Ed students may be waitlisted for classes with full registration. Continuing Ed students do not receive student id’s and therefore may be ineligible for some discounts.

Up to 24 credits of Continuing Ed accumulated work may be applied to a student’s transcript should the student wish to become formally admitted to the Buddhist Studies Degree Program at Maitripa within five years of accumulating the credits. 

Continuing Ed students are subject to the same rules as formally admitted students with regard to academic standards and all other points (add, drop, tuition refunds, grade change option, etc.).

CE in Psychology Credits
Some continuing education courses may be available for CE in Psychology credit.


The Educational Mission of Maitripa College : Developing the Wisdom to Sustain Compassion

Maitripa College's educational program is based in the conviction that Buddhist thought and practice has significant contributions to make to American society and culture. On the basis of a worldview that emphasizes the interdependence of individual, society, and the environment, Buddhism encourages the cultivation of wisdom to create compassionate individuals with a sense of responsibility for the community and world they live in. Maitripa College seeks to do this through the powerful medium of higher education, through the offering and development of degree programs for adults. The core program at Maitripa integrates rigorous training in Buddhist thought and philosophy with the application of those ideas through contemplative practice and active community service. In the process, Maitripa combines aspects of a modern liberal arts education with traditional tools from Tibetan Buddhist scholarship.
