Graduate Certificate:
Cyberpsychology
We are now accepting applications for the Graduate Certificate in CyberPsychology, which has been approved by the regional accreditation agency, SCHEV.
This certificate program will be for students who have completed an undergraduate degree and are seeking graduate level training in cyberpsychology without the full committment of the MS CyberPsychology curriculum. Students who are interested in the MS program but who are not academically prepared based on their educational background (eg, minimal exposure to psychology and social science research methods coursework) are encouraged to apply for the graduate certificate program. All certificate courses overlap with the MS CyberPsychology curriculum, therefore all courses completed in pursuit of the Certificate (with a grade of B or higher) can transfer if the student is subsequently accepted into the MS program.
