The program runs over twelve weeks with approximately six hours of work expected per week. All materials remain accessible after completion so you can revisit content as needed.

Student engaging with course materials

Research-Based Content

Material draws from clinical psychology, cognitive behavioral research, and neuroscience studies. Each concept includes citations so you can explore sources independently if interested.

Moderated Discussion Forums

Share reflections and questions with other students in spaces monitored by instructors. Forums are structured to encourage thoughtful exchange rather than quick reactions.

Weekly Reflection Assignments

Short written exercises help you apply concepts to your own experience. These are private submissions reviewed by teaching assistants who provide individual feedback.

Completion Certificate

Students who complete all modules and assignments receive a certificate documenting participation. This serves as a record of your engagement with the material.

Flexible Scheduling

While the program follows a twelve-week structure, you can work through materials at your own pace within that timeframe. Deadlines are designed to keep you on track without unnecessary pressure.
