Why Sofia University?

We are different.
For over 40 years, our educational approach has been rooted in transforming the transpersonal – the belief that true transformation requires a deeper understanding of the body, the mind, and the spirit.
1
Two thriving metro areas; one global community of educators.
Whether your journey brings you to Sofia to study computer science, business, or psychology, you will have the opportunity to embrace all that Northern and Southern California have to offer while actively participating in our global community of students and educators.
2
We celebrate diversity and community.
We don't just teach transpersonal principles... we live it and integrate it into who we are as a university. At Sofia, you will embrace a community that challenges, inspires, and stimulates you.

We remain student-centered.

Our students are at the core of every decision we make for our university.

Sofia University is a global community of changemakers preparing students to make a difference in their lives and their communities. Choose from our certificate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate programs that speak to you and your calling.
