This certificate program is offered through the Psychology  graduate program. The four three-credit hour courses that are required for the completion of the certificate are offered on-line in a distance format. Students can enroll for each class at their convenience and will be granted the certificate upon completion of the four-course sequence. This involves a pro-seminar survey of the field, a seminar on key topics, a review of relevant research methods, and a practicum/internship in OHP. Students with prior course work in social science research methods may be granted credit for that requirement. The program has been designed for individuals from a wide variety of social science, psychology, and health related academic backgrounds. Students must have completed a bachelor degree to enroll in the certificate program. All four courses have been approved by the American Psychological Association for continuing education credits (45 credits for each course). Students who meet the requirements can enroll in any OHP course without enrolling in the certificate program.
