Centenary University’s accredited master’s program in happiness studies is taught by psychology professors at the New Jersey institution. The fully-online program, which takes two years to complete, teaches students to understand and apply the science of happiness and increase well-being and flourishing in the student’s self and community.

The program is designed to appeal to leaders in the modern workforce who want to increase employee retention and productivity, according to the university. The first cohort had 90 students enrolled as of June 2023.
