Education and Training in Parapsychology

Currently there are no accredited universities or colleges in the United States that offer degree programs in parapsychology. There are, however, a small number of quality educational and training resources available for those interested in learning more about parapsychology.

Here are a list of resources which you might find helpful (listed in no specific order):

Koestler Parapsychology Unit
An Introduction to Parapsychology
Online Course
Course Leader: Dr Caroline Watt
http://www.koestler-parapsychology.psy.ed.ac.uk/teachingDistanceLearning.html

"This short course is taught entirely online and is open to anyone regardless of geographical location. It is a non-accredited course, meaning that there is no formal assessment or qualification gained, though regular participation is expected for award of the certificate. The programme consists of a 'familiarisation' week, followed by ten weekly modules covering key topics in parapsychology. The course aims to provide a balanced approach and stimulate critical thinking on each topic."

The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS)
Near-Death Experiences: An Online Educational Course
Free Online Course
http://www.iands.org/education/educational_credits/ceu-course-home.html

"You are welcome to take this course with or without CEU credits. This self-guided audiovisual course will be an experience you will not forget. After an introduction that summarizes decades of research at major universities and health care centers, you will hear people who have had near-death experiences speak for themselves. You will learn from them, in their own voices, about the typical motifs that occur in NDEs and what it feels like to experience them. This is the next best thing to being in a room with a group of experiencers to hear first-hand what it is like to have an NDE. The course takes a little over one hour to complete."

HCH Institute
Parapsychological Studies: The Study of Psychic Phenomena
Local and Distance Learning Program
Course Leader: Loyd Auerbach, MS
http://www.hypnotherapytraining.com/parapsych.cfm

"This 60 hour course is an overview to the field of Parapsychology, and the main areas of research and investigation: ESP, PsychoKinesis (mind over matter), and Survival of Bodily Death. Included will be a general discussion of where the field came from, where the major centers of research are today, and where the field might be headed. Students will have an opportunity to review some of the basic research in the field and to apply the theories and applications to their current helping profession or to pursue parapsychological field investigations on their own. All courses may be taken individually for Continuing Education Credit."

"Windbridge Institute Director of Research, Julie Beischel, PhD, presented the talk at the 2009 Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) meeting in Charlottesville, VA. This talk is an excellent introduction to modern mediumship research at the Windbridge Institute."
