Development of Wisdom & Spirituality ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course looks at the development of wisdom and spirituality, including how they manifest through behaviors and attitudes, from a lifespan development perspective. Topics may include the application of developmental theory to spiritual development; perspectives of spirituality and wisdom from different cultural perspectives; brain science and research as applied to continued development in older age; and the social phenomenon of 'wisdom' as understood through research, observation, and analysis of self and others. While it is not required, it might be helpful if students took Human Development or an equivalent course. This course was previously HDV-284314 Development of Wisdom and Spirituality.
