This question is also often asked accompanied by some level of anxiety, and the answer may do little to assuage it.
The answer is: this is completely up to you. We have one student here who has four children and is making it work, and others find that the demands of their work/home/families are simply too much.
In general, I advise people that it is likely not possible to do this program full-time and continue to make equal time for your life, job, partner, and children all at once, although some combination of that usually works out fine. But again, this is up to you to figure out. The Maitripa College program is challenging, both in terms of the content you will learn and in terms of the transformative elements that shape it, and that is usually surprising to incoming students. For this reason, we advise people to be patient with this part of the process, ask their families to be patient, and give themselves time and space to figure it out.
Additionally, historically at Maitripa students have attended and graduated from our programs while enrolled as both full time and/or part time students. This is an important option to keep in mind. It is completely possible to do our degree programs as a part-time student, and doing so may be a better choice for you.
