The School Threat Assessment Certificate Program is a new, non‑credit professional certificate offered through UW Tacoma’s VPTRC. It’s designed for people who want practical, real‑world skills backed by solid research. You’ll learn how to understand, assess, and respond to behavioral threats in K–12 and higher‑education settings, with tools you can use right away in your work.
Courses will be taught by highly qualified practitioners who integrate rigorous research with extensive real-world experience in school safety and violence prevention.
The certificate will be an online, synchronous format comprised of three courses. Each course will span 8 weeks with classes meeting 2.5 hours each week.
