Learning Tradition
UPR grows from the tradition of great philosophers of history who perceived an intelligible world with progressive, dynamic and emergent properties of consciousness. Our tradition is shaped by such seminal thinkers as Pythagoras, Plato, Socrates, Manly P. Hall, Sri Aurobindo, and Lao Tzu.

Towards this end UPR has developed its graduate programs, presented through distance learning curricula by a world-class faculty of gifted teachers, who draw freely upon the entire cultural, spiritual and scientific heritage of humanity with a view towards synthesis and integration.
