Each CAGS will transfer directly into a doctoral program at NCU.

Prerequisite: A Master's degree in any field will satisfy admission requirements.

How CAGS works

* Learners complete six courses in selected specializations in Business & Technology Management, Education, or Psychology
* Courses begin the first of each month and each Course is completed in 12 weeks or less
* Those completing six courses of prescribed coursework with a 3.0 or better GPA will be awarded the certificate
* All course requirements are completed via the internet, with no campus residency

Certification may be a requirement for specific disciplines within the field of psychology. More significantly, it represents a clear statement to clients and associates that the Learner is committed to professionalism and has developed a specialized expertise.

Each course of study listed here offers a focused approach to a field that is designed to benefit individual Learners as well as those with whom they work. In addition, each of these certifications was planned to mesh perfectly with one of Northcentral University's psychology doctoral programs.

Health psychology deals with the interconnections between psychology and medicine, and the practice of health psychology in identifying issues in prevention, assessment, and management of health problems. The purpose of this advanced graduate study program is to understand the extent to which psychosocial and environmental factors contribute to the development and progression of medical conditions. These conditions can range from acute physical sysmptoms, such as headaches and constipation, to chronic illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, to predicting the length of time a person lives. The coursework in Health Psychology/Behavioral Medicine will provide a major overview of the discipline and also examine specific types of illnesses and disorders and the mind-body connection.
