In addition to our Master
of Arts in Psychology and Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) in School
Psychology degrees, the COE’s Division of Psychology and Counseling offers
several certificate programs. The non-degree,
post B.A. or M.A. certificates provide professionals with the opportunity to
enhance their education and add to their current credentials.
The Counseling Program offers a College
Career Counseling Certification [AL1] (Post
B.A.) that is a sequence of five 3-credit hour courses. This certificate prepares professionals to
work with adolescents and adults in order to help them develop college career
readiness to successfully enter a chosen career path. Much of the work is done online but there are
face to face class meetings that help to foster a sense of community among the
students.
Another program from the Division of
Psychology and Counseling is our School Counseling Certificate (Post M.A.). This 24-credit hour program is approved to
prepare students for the Professional Educator License-Endorsed in School
Counseling. To be admitted to the certificate
program, students must possess a master’s degree in Counseling or
Psychology. The certificate is awarded
once students meet all university requirements.
The Mindfulness in the Helping
Professions Certificate also requires a B.A. degree and is a 14-credit hour multidisciplinary
program offered jointly by the College of Education and the College of Health
and Human Services. The program focuses
on three areas, academic, professional and personal. The academic perspective deals with the
latest research on the application of mindfulness in a variety of clinical
settings. Professionally, students
develop intervention techniques to treat a variety of clinical problems and
disorders, while on a personal level; they learn how to integrate mindfulness
practices in their own lives.
Please see our website for the complete
details and requirements for these challenging certificates along with
information on all of GSU’s

degree and certificate programs are offered in a variety of formats that make
