PGCert in Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology

This is a graduate counseling certificate at Regent University. This professional certificate supports counselors who already hold credentials and need added coursework for state requirements; it is not a route to first licensure. Topics include assessment instruments, crisis and trauma interventions, and the diagnosis of abnormal behavior. The program is offered either online or on campus in Virginia Beach. The published requirement is 9 credit hours. The next session begins January 11, 2027, and prospective students can ask for details through the request form on the program page. Instruction reflects a Christian perspective, with faculty tied to the Virginia Beach campus. Students who want to compare options or check current costs and admission steps should review the university admissions guidance and speak with an enrollment counselor before applying, since requirements can differ between programs and terms.
