Individuals with doctoral degrees in psychology can pursue post-doctoral certificates at Walden University by two methods.

 

The first method, respecialization, allows students to gain theory and knowledge in a specialization other than the one they focused on in their degree work. Students complete a unique Program of Study that accounts for previous coursework and includes courses required to achieve essential knowledge in the new specialization. They may choose from any of the specializations offered in Walden’s Ph.D. in Psychology program.

 

The second method, specialized learning, provide students with advanced training in a focused area. The School of Psychology currently offers three Specialized Learning Certificates: Clinical Assessment, Clinical Child Psychology, and Teaching Online.
