The Organic Psychology Degree or Certificate Program
A Learning Track for the Natural System Thinking Process at Project NatureConnect.
"The Organic Psychology eight-month degree or certificate is attained by adding Organic Psychology to an applicant's previously learned skills, training or life experience in any discipline or appropriate situation where more than four thousand hours (24 months) of dedicated experience or learning has already occurred and where the applicant has achieved a level of expertise. Since Organic Psychology can be added to any area of endeavor and increase its value, the certificate or degree is in the practice of Organic Psychology. You can apply it as a counselor teacher, parent or salesperson; union leader, farmer, woodcarver or kite flyer, or with a legitimate combination of your skills."

Educating Counseling and Healing With Nature
Nature maintains its perfection because everything in nature supports the whole of nature and its integrity. We are a part of nature that suffers unique troubles because our mind, body and spirit live and think while excessively separated from nature and our supportive origins there.
The purpose of Organic Psychology is to help our mentality increase our intelligence and personal, social and environmental well-being by thinking within the restorative, health-sustaining laws and systems that exist in nature. This enables us to reduce our destructive impact on natural systems that support us and the environment.
Organic Psychology (OP) is achieved by using a tool known as the Natural System Thinking Process (NSTP). It helps us enjoy a psychological aspect of learning whose rewards and effects simultaneously benefit nature's regenerative ways in people and natural areas.As described in the introduction to the Journal of Organic Psychology, Organic Psychology empowers us to add Organic Consciousness Moments (OCM) to our thoughts feelings and relationships on personal and professional levels. OCM genuinely connect our thinking and acts with the balanced intelligence and love in nature's renewing perfection. This organically helps us guide our mind and relationships in any situation we choose to apply it.
The Organic Psychology degree or certificate is attained by adding OP to an applicant's previously learned skills, training or life experience. The applicant simply identifies and accurately labels their area(s) of skill or competence. Then, within the applicant's financial ability, the OP track, in as little as ten months, trains the applicant, online, to add OP to their expertise and strengthen it organically. To your advantage, an Institute of Global Education Certificate or B.S. M.S. or Ph.D, degree in Organic Psychology from West Coast University proclaims this achievement.
Equivalent courses or training may substitute for a project or thesis on the B.S. and M.S. level. A project or dissertation is required for the Doctorate.
To enter the program simply follow the general instructions for enrollment and participation. The Application Form is used to enter the Organic Psychology Track by checking the OP option where it appears on the form.
