2026 International Convention and Formal Cap and Gown Graduation
As an international distance learning university, we mail certificates and diplomas to our students. However, you can participate in our upcoming 2026 International Convention and Formal Cap and Gown Graduation, taking place in beautiful and mystical Sedona, Arizona, from September 13 through 17, 2026. The theme of the convention will be one of gratitude and celebration. Celebrating not only all our participating graduates but also our 67 years of existence, made possible by our founder, Dr. Paul Leon Masters.
We will be updating and adding additional information in the coming weeks. Check back often!

Convention Speakers
The Speaker Presentations highlight our Convention/Graduation. Speakers from all over the globe present a 20-minute discourse: an evocative and inspiring presentation to fellow graduates and convention attendees. The speeches are motivational, transformative, and spiritually-enriching, and the metaphysical insights presented are vast and diverse, creating a wonderful platform for the sharing of ideas and discoveries.
Important. We are still accepting submissions for speakers and workshop presenters. Please be sure to submit your application by April 24th to be considered. With the livestream, you have an incredible opportunity to present your topic to a worldwide platform. After April 24th, we will notify our successful presenters and upload the titles of their presentations, along with their biographies, on the Speakers page.
Live-Stream
NEW! The Entire Event will be Live-Streamed
For those who cannot attend in person and want to connect with the energies, listen to our speakers, watch the formal cap and gown graduation, not miss out on all the activities, and are curious about what we are all about, for the first time, we are excited to announce the whole event, from start to finish, will be live-streamed. During the event, we will host a live walkabout stream so our attendees can introduce themselves and share a few words about their experience. The cost for the link to watch the live stream will be $99, and it will also be available to the general public for the same price.
