New University of Montana Course Delves into Art and Science of Happiness

University of Montana

This spring the University of Montana College of Education will offer a new course titled The Art and Science of Happiness, helping students learn about myths and truths of well-lived lives so they can develop a better map for finding happiness.

Counseling Professor John Sommers-Flanagan and Professor Emerita Rita Sommers-Flanagan developed the course, which is modeled loosely after other successful happiness classes offered at Yale, Harvard, Duke and other universities. The UM class takes into account the unique challenges to well-being and happiness that Montanans face.
