Offered at IU Bloomington by College of Arts and Sciences
About
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 technician) 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 allows 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 manifested and addressed.
The interdisciplinary breadth requirement ensures that students learn about how psychological and mental health issues are conceptualized, studied, and addressed by other disciplines.
