About this program

Psychological and brain sciences students may structure their elective coursework so that they are recognized for additional specialized study that cuts across behavioral听neuroscience, clinical science, cognitive psychology and social psychology. We currently offer three such certificates: developmental processes, quantitative analysis, and social cognitive and affective neuroscience. The certificate programs are open to any current graduate student in any program at the 91原创.

Program Concentrations:

• Developmental Processes Certificate: Requires听four developmental courses, or three developmental courses and a semester of laboratory work outside the advisor鈥檚 lab doing developmental work. At least two of the courses must be outside the main concentration of study.
  
• Quantitative Analysis Certificate: Requires听a sequence of six courses in statistics.
• Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (SCAN) Certificate:听Students in SCAN need to declare a major and minor program of study, chosen from cognitive, social, clinical and behavioral听neuroscience. In addition, two elective courses need to be chosen that represent the minor program of study. One of these electives should also be related to SCAN research topics.听Each student is also required to participate in at least one research project that cuts across two labs in the SCAN areas.

These certificates are only available to any current graduate students in any program at the 91原创.
