Introduction and Philosophy
An Open letter from the University
There is a wonderful propensity and tremendous capacity
unique to the Human Race. These qualities motivate us to learn,
grow and to share amongst one another for the ultimate benefit of
all. This tendency makes possible our continued emotional, mental
and spiritual development as well as insuring the propagation of
all that which is intrinsically good and noble in humanity.
Many of our great institutions of higher learning
exist to truly help the student take the initial steps toward betterment
of self and society. The University of Berkley is one such institution...predicated
upon the principles of goodwill and service. An essential way in
which we serve is to recognize the accomplishments of deserving
individuals in order that they may go on in their own ways to make
a contribution to their communities and society.
We at the University of Berkley are dedicated to the propagation of
knowledge and its correct application -- wisdom. As an organization
we recognize that all people are part of a larger whole -- Humankind.
As individual members of the "family" we all have unique
qualities, experiences and knowledge to impart unto others. The
UofB and its parent organization, The Society of God,* are founded
upon the highest of human ideals and aspirations. Both have, as
the basis of their guiding philosophies, a profound love and respect
for life, freedom and the health and will being of our entire planet.
In keeping with our high standards and philosophy
of service, we have structured our organization in such a way as
to provide the highest degree of function for our students. This
function by necessity includes many very important aspects...not
the least of which is affordability. By being a nonprofit organization
and consistently lowering our operating costs over the years we
have achieved a state of delicate balance that, as our research
shows, allows us to offer the lowest tuition prices of any comparable,
non-traditional school in the world. Please take a few minutes to
read this catalog so you will understand why we and our students
feel our claims are justified.
The University of Berkley welcomes the opportunity to
acknowledge, embrace, and celebrate individual accomplishments--including
yours. It is our sincere hope that we may be of service to you in
your academic quest.
Yours in educational freedom, brotherhood, and peace
