I am about halfway through my master of science in psychology program and was just wondering if there exists a place where one is able to take graduate-level psychology courses that could then be (at the discretion of the university) accepted for transfer credit. I know there exist websites where one can take MOOCS, but I haven't found any graduate level courses, unless I just haven't been looking in the right places. Additionally, are the certificates obtained by MOOCS, if offered by regionally accredited schools, comparable to having taken the in-person version of the class at said school?
I think the standard practice is to go to the schools that offer MA/PhD in Counseling (or whatever) and approach them about taking a course as a non-matriculated student. Some will, some won't. Be careful about equivalency as the receiving school is not required to accept the credits simply because of a similar course title. http://www.degreeinfo.com/nursing-medical-related-degrees/
Try these, you may be able to convince your uni to accept them Earn Graduate Credit : PBS TeacherLine Courses - Online Continuing Education Courses for Teachers - CEUs, PLUs, Undergraduate, Graduate, Distance Learning for Educators - VESi https://www.collegecreditconnection.com/ccc/Home.aspx
Hm, I hadn't considered that. Also, did you mean to put that link there? It just links me to the first page of the nursing and medical-related degrees forum, but to nothing specific.
There are no psychology MOOCs that can be used for college credit. There are a handful of schools that have a partnership with edX to award graduate credits if you are accepted to a specific program of theirs, but those programs are in business, environmental science, and computer science. The schools designing courses for edX and Coursera aren't the ones awarding the certificates; edX and Coursera are awarding the certificates. These certificates are not the equivalent of taking a course for college credit at an accredited school, whether online or on campus. California Southern University makes it easy to take individual courses. https://www.calsouthern.edu/online-degree-programs/online-college-courses Another option, but probably not considered cheap.

Thank you for all of the great information. I found one of the courses I was looking to take at California Southern University, so I will contact my school to see if they would accept that to replace one of my required classes.
Yeah, there are about a thousand threads in there about MA/PhD programs in Psychology. Start reading.:ugh1::yeah:
I confirmed it. These are not graduate courses. https://www.uidaho.edu/class/psychcomm/undergraduate/psychology
