Positive psychology is a research and curricular interest of several University of Pennsylvania schools, departments, and centers. The Positive Psychology Center conducts research into positive psychology and resilience, hosts training programs and research conferences, and administers the MAPP graduate degree program.
The Masters of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania is the first of its kind. The MAPP program offers a hybrid program delivery model toward the Masters degree through the Positive Psychology Center and the School of Liberal and Professional Studies.
