PSYC 0380 - Capstone Experience: Positive Psychology


Credits: 3

This Capstone Experience (CE) course explores Positive Psychology, which is the study of the human strengths and virtues that make life worth living ("the good life") and allow individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. In the context of a seminar, students will learn largely through reading-based discussions, with a substantial amount of the discussions being student-led. Students will also work on a group projects, which will culminate in a class presentation and a written proposal. This is a reading and writing intensive course.

Prerequisites: Senior standing or permission of instructor.
