Continuing Education
Current Research and Evidence-Based Practice Inform all of our Post-Master’s Certificate Programs
Ranging from 14-56 hours each, our certificate programs give professionals the knowledge to enhance their treatment strategies and improve their approaches and skills when dealing with complicated cases, supervisory challenges, or leadership development. They require comprehensive journal and text reading, engagement in discussion, and debate about the issues and application. All programs are NYSED accredited for licensed social workers and licensed mental health counselors.

This program reminded me of the importance of investing in myself and taking the time to participate in a learning environment that will help prepare me for the next steps in my career.

Attending the Zelda Foster Studies Certificate Program in Palliative and End-of-Life Care has been one of my most rewarding experiences as a social worker. Beyond a certificate, I found a community. I truly recommend it for people interested in working with people with chronic illnesses and end-of-life needs.
