Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences

Certificate in Clinical Psychological Science

Students on Summer 2022, Fall 2022, or Spring 2023 requirements CLNPSYACRT

Students completing the Certificate in Clinical Psychological Science will develop an in-depth understanding of clinical psychological science, from theory to its application in the laboratory and/or a wide variety of applied mental and behavioral health-service settings. The certificate is designed to improve student competitiveness for graduate training in applied psychology and related fields or for entry-level positions (such as behavioral technicians) in mental and behavioral health settings. The required courses teach students about state-of-the-art experimental methods and theory from psychological and brain sciences that can be leveraged to address pressing psychological problems. The applied field experiences and associated supervision/discussion section will allow students to be exposed to real-world situations and practice settings in order to develop an appreciation of how psychological and mental health problems are manifest and addressed. The interdisciplinary breadth requirement will ensure that students learn about how psychological and mental health issues are conceptualized, studied, and addressed by other disciplines.

This program requires special admission. Please see the admission requirements section below.
