Psychology 302: Graduate Studies in Selfless Service

Course Mentor: John Griffin, PHD

Tuition: free for WorldU Degree and Certificate Students

Course Description and Overview:

The focus of the course is on the practice of Selfless Service. The two required texts and other readings will provide a theoretical background indicating how selfless service can and should be performed, its therapeutic temporal and spiritual aspects, and the need to engage it in a transpersonal way. But the heart of the course lies in your engagement with the actual practice of service which is, or will become, transpersonal and selfless in nature.
