College of Psychology and Community Services:
Post-Doctoral Respecialization Certificate

This program is not currently accepting new students. Current students must complete their programs of study in accordance with Walden’s Time-to-Degree Completion policies.

Earning a Respecialization Certificate gives students the opportunity 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.

Note on Licensure

The respecialization certificate is not a licensure program and does not prepare an individual to become a licensed psychology professional.

Specialization Requirements

  • Specific coursework determined by the student and the School of Psychology’s faculty chair for the specialization chosen

Time to completion may vary by student, depending on individual progress and credits transferred, if applicable. For a personalized estimate of time to completion, students should call an enrollment specialist at 1-866-492-5336.
