The secrets of a happy life are now studied at an academic level! One of the leading universities in the United States of America has opened the world’s first faculty of “Happiness”.
According to representatives of the institution, this initiative was created as a response to the growing mental health problems in modern society — anxiety, depression, loneliness, and general dissatisfaction with life.
“We are witnessing an increase in emotional distress around the world. In such a situation, studying happiness through science has become a pressing need,” said the organizers of the faculty in their statement.
The education will be conducted entirely online and will last for 4 years. Students will study a range of subjects such as neurobiology, psychology, religious studies, philosophy, literature, and other humanities.
Graduates of this program may work as healthcare specialists, political consultants, school and university teachers, researchers, or advocates for mental wellness.
Initially, 25 students will be admitted, and later the number is planned to be increased to 100.
Thus, for the first time in history, happiness is recognized not only as a personal feeling but also as an academic subject of study.
