Undergraduate Certificate in Community Psychology

Community Psychology is a field of psychology developed in the 1960's to promote well-being, increase empowerment and sense of community, and prevent the development of problems in communities, groups and individuals.

This certificate program provides specialized skill training in community psychology for undergraduate students preparing for graduate study or entrance into the workforce after graduation. The program equips students with the skills necessary to work effectively in a community setting, and complements knowledge acquired in their degree program.

Eligible students do not need to be psychology majors, but must meet GPA requirements. Students must have a GPA of at least 3.000, both overall and in their psychology courses.

The curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills necessary to function within a community psychology setting, such as a non-profit organization seeking technical assistance.
