About the Program
The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Mind, Brain & Learning prepares educators, trainers, and organizational leaders to translate research from the learning sciences, Mind, Brain, and Education Science, and educational neuroscience into inclusive, actionable practice. Designed for professionals seeking to deepen their expertise at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and education, the program equips students with expertise in neuropedagogy, neurovariability, and the cognitive processes that underpin attention, memory, creativity, motivation, and learning. The curriculum integrates Universal Design for Learning, assessment design, and research-informed instructional strategies to support innovative and equitable learning experiences. Through experiential and applied learning, students gain valuable insights that inform new strategies to enhance learning, performance, and outcomes across educational and professional settings.
Whether you are teaching or designing courses, leading teams, facilitating training, or fostering professional development, you will be equipped to optimize learning experiences and cultivate environments that encourage growth, creativity, and innovation. As part of the Drexel Advantage, the MBL program prepares graduates to design and implement dynamic, evidence-based learning experiences that advance teaching, training, instructional design, and organizational practice across educational and workplace environments.
