Integration and Collaboration
Passion University nurtures integration and collaboration with multifaceted educational, scientific and social resources. Knowledge and skills are integrated from a wide variety of disciplines and modalities. The program’s format, content, and curriculum reflect the university’s innovative approach to higher education.
Quality of Life
We provide students with the tools and support needed for growth and fulfilled living. Develop qualities, gain a broad perspective about your life, explore diverse pathways towards your goals, and acquire the skills to turn your dreams into reality.
Diverse Learning Formats
While most coursework is done online, Passion’s courses have experiential components, and some require in-person instruction. Depending on the individual course, this may be accomplished at a weekend workshop or occasionally as a short residential training.
The advantage of a hybrid course is that intellectual learning is accomplished with the convenience and efficiency of Internet access. At the same time, in-person instruction offers personal support and attention, which is impossible through the internet alone.
Students may attend in-person courses in their area or in convenient geographical locations. Outdoor adventures and Vision Quests vary in location. The type of course and locations are provided in the individual course listings on the passion.edu home page under Programs.
International Students
Passion University welcomes international students and offers a unique benefit to those who cannot or do not wish to relocate from their home country. Passion is not equipped to obtain visas for international students; however, the limited time spent on in-person training makes the student’s time in the United States the equivalent of a vacation rather than a relocation. In most cases, a passport will be sufficient documentation for travel to occasional brief workshops or residential training.
Experiential training may also be self-guided. In some cases, approved residential training may be possible within or near a student’s home country.
Integrating experiential workshops, in-person classes and retreats.
Learn What You Want
Most students go through their college years, treating it all as an application of delayed gratification. A foregone conclusion pervades the academic world: school is by nature draining and challenging, and students must put their present work, family, friendships, and other interests aside to earn a degree. It is an unattractive and unhealthy prospect. People do this daily because they’re told this is the inevitable price of success, which will someday lead to future joy.
Move Life Forward
Passion University has a different understanding. Today, you have the opportunity to have your future in an education that:
- Welcomes who you really are and how you want to live!
- It energizes you rather than drains you.
- You treasure the moment instead of feeling eager to put it in the past.
- Take the courses you want rather than what’s dictated for you.
- Choose teachers that are available anywhere rather than at a single location.
- Promotes communication rather than silence.
- Encourages communication and healthy relationships, not isolation.
- You cherish and take absolute satisfaction in achievements.
- Lets you keep your current residence and lifestyle in addition to studying at your own pace and energy level.
“If the colleges were better, if they really had it, you would need to get the police at the gates to keep order in the inrushing multitude… The college, which should be a place of delightful labor, is made odious and unhealthy, and the young men are tempted to frivolous amusements to rally their jaded spirits… Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
