Information on the state of Psychedelic Degrees
A psychedelic degree refers to a formal education program that focuses on the study of psychedelics and their potential therapeutic uses. These degrees can come in a variety of forms, including undergraduate, master's, and doctorate levels. These degrees are usually offered by academic institutions and include coursework, research, and practical training in the field of psychedelic therapy.
It's important to note that currently, there aren't many psychedelic degrees available yet, as the field is relatively new and still in the process of being established. Additionally, there are also professional certificates, such as Psychedelic-Assisted Facilitator and Psychedelic Integration Coach, which are offered by some (academic/institutional and non-academic) institutions, but they are not considered standard academic degrees and may not be recognized by all organisations.
On the other hand, a certificate in psychedelic therapy/facilitation or integration is typically a shorter program that focuses on a specific aspect of the field, such as facilitation, integration, or research. These certificates are usually offered by non-academic institutions and may not be recognized by all organisations, but they can still provide valuable training for those interested in working in the field of psychedelic therapy.
