he flexibility to study in one’s native language from anywhere in the world while setting a personalized learning pace is one of the most notable benefits of completing an online academic program. Recognizing these advantages and the fact that young people are increasingly navigating a more connected and globalized society, Albizu University has developed one of the most comprehensive virtual learning catalogs in the Caribbean region for studying human behavior.
“we aim to expand our reach beyond the classroom”
Recently, Albizu University added the Bachelor of Psychology degree in Spanish to its online catalog. This online academic program aims to provide a flexible, accessible, and robust educational experience to a diverse range of students, leveraging the university’s extensive expertise in psychology, education, and health services. The expansion of the online learning catalog is part of Albizu University’s strategy to meet the evolving needs of today’s students while ensuring a rigorous education that meets accreditation standards. “We aim to expand our reach beyond the classroom. Our online programs provide the same level of academic training and support as our in-person programs, with the added opportunities offered by remote access, without losing the essence of the university,” said P. Edvrard Pharel, program coordinator.
The program offers students a solid foundation in various fields of mental health and the necessary skills to pursue graduate studies. It is provided online and can be completed in three years and one semester. The curriculum combines cognitive, emotional, and behavioral science theories with current trends in psychology.
“with online learning, Albizu crosses borders”
Although the program is online, students are required to complete research-based projects, present academic research to specific audiences, and attend or present at conferences related to academia. In this way, the program fosters a global learning community that broadens students’ perspectives, allowing them to value and respect the dignity of all people, regardless of their background, origins, or life circumstances, emphasizing the program’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
The program’s faculty consists of professionals with doctoral degrees who practice as professional psychologists in various settings, including private practice, child clinics, correctional centers, public and private schools, among others. Additionally, Albizu provides a robust platform as a hub for online education programs and services, offering extensive support and resources to facilitate interaction between students and professors. Through this platform, students can access academic programs, the Learning Management System, the university library, and links to enroll for classes, request services, and access 24/7 technical support, ensuring they are never alone in their academic journey.
Graduates of the program can explore job opportunities in various fields such as human resources, marketing, social services, sales, customer service, security and law enforcement, hospitals, and community organizations. By doing so, Albizu University continues its mission to transform lives through education. With online learning, Albizu crosses borders to impact the global educational landscape significantly, offering students the tools to turn their passion into a profession.
