Sofia University

“Choosing Sofia University for my MBA was one of the best decisions I made. The hybrid format offered the flexibility I needed while working full time, with online coursework through Canvas and only three or four in-person weekend classes each quarter. Sofia was also more affordable than other universities I considered in the Bay Area, and scholarship opportunities were available. My experience at Sofia helped me discover the direction I wanted to take in my life and career. My professors were responsive, supportive, and always willing to answer my questions. During my studies, I also had the opportunity to work on campus. That experience led to an internship with Sofia’s marketing team and eventually to a full-time position at the university. Looking back at everything I accomplished, I am incredibly grateful to Sofia University for the education, support, and professional opportunities it provided. I would highly recommend Sofia, especially its MBA program, to anyone considering taking the next step in their education and career.”

“From the moment I joined Sofia University, I felt genuinely welcomed, supported, and encouraged. The faculty treated me as a peer and gave me the freedom to explore a subject that had interested me for a lifetime: happiness and its relationship to self-transcendence. Sofia’s approach to transpersonal psychology allowed me to study the full range of human experience without closing off important avenues of inquiry. I was encouraged to bring together psychology, spirituality, philosophy, religion, and embodied experience to develop a more holistic understanding of happiness. What makes Sofia especially meaningful is that students are invited to pursue the questions that matter deeply to them. My advice to anyone considering the PhD program is simple: do not hold back. This is a rare opportunity to formally investigate something profoundly personal and important to you. I could not have accomplished what I have without Sofia’s support. The experience helped me develop a more grounded approach to happiness—one that I can now bring beyond academia to help others discover what already lives within them.”
