Positive Psychology Faculty at Universities
The following is an alphabetized list of some of the many universities with faculty who have an interest in Positive Psychology. The first section is a list of schools that have two or more faculty with an interest in Positive Psychology. The second section is a list of schools with one Positive Psychology faculty. We hope this list helps undergraduates, graduate students and others with an interest in Positive Psychology find programs where they can pursue their interests. This list is not comprehensive and probably not entirely up to date, but we collected as much information as we could and is to the best of our knowledge.
If you would like to be added to this list, send an email to Peter Schulman.
