Students can submit an application for the Applied Social & Cultural Psychology certificate in Fall 2021.

​

The Florida International University (FIU) Department of Psychology's Graduate Certificate in Applied Social and Cultural Psychology (ASCP) is designed to offer doctoral level Psychology students an opportunity to learn culturally-humility centered frameworks and methods for research design when working with diverse populations. Through classes, students will explore research examining and influencing urgent social issues facing the global community (e.g., social mobility, health inequities, immigration). Students will also have opportunities to learn about how researchers build relationships with organizations at multiple levels, various modes for communicating research findings to stakeholders (including law makers, corporate boards, community leaders and activists, members of the non-profit sector, and the general public), and the relevance of social justice frameworks to research approaches.
