About MAPP
A new program at the University of Pennsylvania provides an important opportunity for psychologists, educators, life coaches, and health and business professionals interested in the application of the science of Positive Psychology. The Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) offers professionals, many of whom are working full time, the chance to earn a pioneering graduate degree from an Ivy League university.
This program is centered on the work of Dr. Martin Seligman, Fox Leadership Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Seligman is the founder of Positive Psychology, a new branch of psychology that focuses on the empirical study of such things as positive emotions, strengths-based character, and healthy institutions. The primary focus of this degree is to train students in the history, theory, and basic research methods of Positive Psychology and to help them apply these aspects of Positive Psychology in their particular professional settings.
Contribute to The MAPP Scholarship Fund
Contributions to the scholarship fund are welcome from anyone who wishes to donate, but the ultimate fundraising goal of the 2007 campaign is to achieve a 100 percent alumni giving rate—a goal that, if achieved, will make a remarkable and empowering statement about the MAPP program and its future, only one year after the new program’s first graduates earned their degrees.
