Program Description
The General Psychology certificate includes advanced psychology courses and is designed primarily for students who currently teach or wish to teach psychology in either the public schools or in the community college system. The certificate is also designed for individuals who wish to expand their capabilities and/or marketability. This certificate focuses primarily on the experimental core areas of psychology such as learning, cognition, physiology, neuropsychopharmacology, and developmental.
Admissions
Requirements for admission include:

We strongly recommend that applicants have at least 9 hours of undergraduate coursework in Psychology.
