Life University’s
Mission, Vision & Values

LIFE UNIVERSITY’S MISSION

The mission of Life University is to empower each student with the education, skills and values to maximize the perfection within, based upon a vitalistic philosophy.

Life University is committed to a global vision and excellence in teaching, learning and research, providing an exceptional student experience leading to a life of Integrity and Lasting Purpose.

LIFE UNIVERSITY’S VISION

A world centered on vitalistic thinking and action.

LIFE UNIVERSITY’S CREDO

We believe that living systems are self-aware, self-developing, self-maintaining and self-healing.
We understand that living systems function best when operating free of interference.
We recognize that interference results in the diminished expression and quality of life.

Therefore, Life University’s programs are designed to educate students to identify and correct interference, allowing living systems to improve expression of their innate potential.


Life University
Values

Lasting Purpose

Life University believes that a willingness and desire to serve your community and your fellow man are just as important as academic pursuits. This is expressed by the University’s guiding principle, Lasting Purpose: To live an inner-directed life, to give, to do, to love, to serve, out of your own abundance.

Integrity

Life University’s value of Integrity is defined as a state of completeness or wholeness; adherence to a set of values, implying wholeness of body, mind and spirit; and in our relationships with people and the planet.

Integrity provides the underpinning for the responsible exercise of our rights and responsibilities as human beings. Integrity leads to empowerment and excellence, while a lack of integrity results in mediocrity. Life University teaches students how to manage personal integrity and function as valued citizens within the academic, healthcare and larger communities.

Vitalism

Life U’s educational and clinical philosophy is based on Vitalism—our recognition that the Universe itself is self-conscious, and as such, creates itself as a dynamic system wherein living organisms are self-developing, self-maintaining and self-healing.

Our Vitalistic Ethos – We acknowledge that the phenomenon of life is fundamentally original, adaptable and unpredictable. It is original in that life creates its own meaning; adaptable in that it expresses itself through overcoming entropy; and unpredictable as it transforms itself and evolves.

The concept of Vitalism is foundational to the entire concepts of health and wellness in humans. Our bodies work hard to express health, to maintain health and to recover from illnesses or other conditions that threaten our health.

Vitalism is the guiding philosophy at Life University and is prevalent throughout all our undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs.
