    Description
    This course is designed for upper division baccalaureate degree students interested in developing their conceptual frameworks and cognitive theories about death, dying, and grief, and increasing affective development and sensitivity to issues concerning death, dying, and grief. Students will become aware and sensitized to their personal assumptions, biases, attitudes, and reactions to death, dying, and grief, while increasing death competency and lowering death anxiety in order to demonstrate increased sensitivity, awareness, and skills in coping with loss and bereavement, supporting others in their struggle to deal with death issues, and by finding meaning and personal growth through encounters with death, loss, and grief. Enrollment limited to those accepted into a California community college baccalaureate degree program. (CSU)
