The sport and performance psychology online program is designed to help provide students with the skills in positive and applied sport psychology needed to enhance performance and maximize human potential. The program’s comprehensive curriculum was specifically designed to help students complete the specialized K1-K8 coursework requirements toward becoming Certified Mental Performance Consultants (CMPC®). UWS offers SPP programs at master’s, doctoral and certificate levels, as well as options to specialize in positive coaching, applied practice, individual studies, positive leadership and administration, and clinical mental health counseling.

The clinical mental health counseling curriculum is supported by research in the field, evidence-based practices and clinical experiences provided by highly-trained faculty and emphasizes a systems approach in which students consider the influence of families, groups, teams and organizations on individual mental health and performance. UWS offers both a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Doctor of Education in Sport and Performance Psychology with a Clinical Mental Health Counseling specialization. The EdD program is an ideal option for candidates who may be interested in earning their clinical mental health counseling master’s and an EdD in sport and performance psychology in one streamlined program.

Both degrees can be completed fully online with consistent and meaningful contact with faculty and instructors. One of the unique features of these programs is the standardized patient component, which allows students to apply their knowledge in simulated “real-world” scenarios with specially trained actors.

UWS offers a Master of Science and a graduate certificate program in human nutrition and functional medicine, as well as a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN) degree. These programs are offered as a collaborative endeavor between UWS and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), the organization that founded and developed many functional medicine concepts in use today. Functional medicine is a science-based, patient-centered approach to achieving and maintaining excellent health through natural methods, with diet and nutrition at the forefront. Founded on a holistic view of health, our functional medicine programs leverage the biochemical and genetic individuality of each patient so that practitioners can treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. The programs are 100% online.
