professional skills</h2><p>Penn State Schuylkill offers 15 undergraduate certificate programs so students can focus in on a specific area of study in their degree program or enhance their professional skills in their existing career. All of these certificates are designed to complement existing Penn State Schuylkill degree programs, and many of them can be completed without enrolling in a degree so you can advance your career or simply expand your knowledge base.</p><h3>Behavioral Health and Counseling Psychology</h3><p>Behavioral health and counseling psychology is an applied field of psychology and counseling that helps people to improve their functioning, both as individuals and in their relationships with others.
