If you are considering working in the field of Animal-Assisted Therapy & Activities, the Harcum College Distance Learning Certificate course will help you learn more about this rapidly growing field, focus your interests, give you a Certificate, and help you to get your pet certified so you can begin bringing pets and people together.

To register, contact Ms. Linsley Gentile in the Continuing Studies Department at Harcum College at lgentile@harcum.edu, or call (610) 526-6083. The last four classes have been sold out, so early registration is advised, particularly for foreign students.

For details about the curriculum and a syllabus, please visit http://www.animaltherapy.net/Harcum.html

If you have questions regarding the content of the course, please contact me.
