CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The Certificate Program is designed to help you reach your goals in logical steps and graduate having developed a right livelihood niche for yourself that you can walk into.

It is located at http://www.ecopsych.com/ecocertificate.htmlThe Training Certificate online course work and internship program may be completed and then transferred into M.S. or Ph.D. programs available at the time of completion. This reduces costs and makes a greater number of degree options available.

TUITION
The Applied Ecopsychology program is proud to have developed a unique, in training, student cooperative, administrative and support group that keeps operating costs to a minimum. The training there not only reduces tuition costs but is often assigned credit hours in courses. Please carefully consider our Cooperative Support Group at http://www.ecopsych.com/iupscoop.html. It offers a Bachelors or Master's Waiver Option mentoring to qualified candidates. Through the co-op program, on average, doctoral tuitions over 2-3 year period are $6,700 total including dissertation fees. Master's tuitions over 2 years presently average $5200 total. See SCHOLARSHIPS below. These fees INCLUDE the fees for Certification, described above.
SCHOLARSHIPS:
Tuitions vary with the amount of *scholarship* funding for which you are eligible and course work, independent study and life experience transferred into program plus applicable work/study and grants. Financial aid programs are designed to make NSTP online training, education and degrees available, affordable and practical for any qualified applicant. They help you graduate without a high debt that forces you to take jobs that do not utilize your NSTP skills. The scholarships let you cooperatively set your tution based on your ability to pay. Explore the program at http://www.ecopsych.com/iupsscholarship.htmlYou apply for the scholarship through a section of the application form
http://www.ecopsych.com/iupsapplication.html
also visit http://www.ecopsych.com/iupsreleaseter.htmlWithout using the cooperative program, tuition averages $200/credit with 45-48 credits required for the Ph.D. and 30-36 for the M.S.
The least expensive route to a degree is through the Certificate Program, described above, where costs/per credit are 50% less for most of the program.
Do you seek a reasonable, teachable, social technology that enables you to implement your desire to live more harmoniously with people and the environment? Our degree program and courses are not designed for uncaring people. They specifically help concerned individuals become expert in Project NatureConnect's powerful Organic Psychology Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP) and optionally earn a Degree and/or Certificate while doing so. Because the Process is a science of relating in balance to Earth and its people, it enhances contemporary life. For this reason it brings greater rewards to your personal and professional interests in most fields and disciplines.
