Well-Being: Body, Mind and Spirit - 23021

Well-being refers to feelings of satisfaction with one’s life and to a sense of contentment, purpose and meaning. It also refers to the cultivation of empathy, kindness, and the well-being of others. Through deeper intellectual understanding as well as through practices supporting many different views, a primary concern for personal well-being may be displaced by a more universal concern for all sentient beings. The courses in this connection address issues of well-being such as physical, personal, social, mental, and cognitive. These courses also address issues of self-care, social justice, awareness, and mindfulness. Each of our four courses addresses an aspect of well-being from a different disciplinary perspective and include experiential components. Student may take a 2 or 3 course connection: Natural Science: BIO 105 , Humanities: REL 108  and Social Science EITHER PSY 369  OR EDUC 350 .

This may be completed as a two- or three-course connection. A two-course connection must link courses from at least two different areas; a three-course connection must link courses from three areas.
