If I’ve already completed courses, can they be applied towards the certificate?
Yes, you can use two courses you’ve already taken (6 units total) towards both your certificate and your Psychology major/minor. You’ll want to check with your academic advisor about how best to use the courses you’ve taken.
Do I need to take the fundamentals course?
Yes, this is a required course, and you must take it to complete the certificate. We recommend you take this course first, if possible.
Can I transfer courses?
Transfer credits are not allowed to be applied toward the certificate.
Can I “double-dip courses?”
You can use up to 6 units (two classes) towards both your major and the certificate.
What is the cost of the certificate program?
There is no added cost to complete the certificate program, only the costs associated with the courses you register to take.
How many courses do I need to take to complete the certificate?
A minimum of 12 units are required to complete the certificate (e.g., 4 classes)
How long will it take me to complete the certificate?
We recommend students take one course at a time for the last 1-2 years of their undergraduate program. It can be completed faster than that if students choose to take multiple courses at a time.
Is this fully-online?
The certificate can be completed fully online, though classes from some of our partner departments may be offered face-to-face for those who prefer an in-person compliment.
