Miami public research university where Dr. Jerry B. Brown has taught interdisciplinary psychedelics courses since 1975, and Professor Joseph Lichter runs an Honors College Psychedelic Renaissance course covering therapeutic applications of psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine. FIU also serves as one of 21 sites in a major national psychedelic clinical trial and hosts the Cannadelic conference — the first cannabis and psychedelics conference focused on next-generation research.
Florida International University is a large public research university with a small but credible psychedelics offering rather than a dedicated training institute. Its strength lies in academic legitimacy, faculty lineage, and proximity to current research, especially through Joseph Lichter’s honours course and Jerry B. Brown’s long-running interdisciplinary teaching on psychedelics and culture. It is best for students who want a rigorous, classroom-based introduction to the history, science, risks, and therapeutic questions around psychedelics within a mainstream university setting.
Best suited to undergraduate students, honours students, and curious learners who want an academically grounded overview of psychedelics. It is also relevant to pre-health students and others interested in the research, policy, and therapeutic landscape rather than hands-on practitioner training.
The honours course is an upper-division in-person course within FIU Honors College. FIU’s general course access pathways include guest or non-degree seeking application routes, but the psychedelic courses themselves do not publish special professional licensure requirements.
FIU is a public research university, and these offerings sit within its academic honours and undergraduate catalogue. The psychedelic courses are credited university courses, but FIU does not present them as a standalone certification or professional training credential.
FIU does not publish a single programme price for these courses. Tuition is charged through standard university registration, with costs depending on student status, residency, and any additional fees that apply; FIU notes that tuition and fees vary by programme and enrolment status.
Learners leave with university course credit and a structured grounding in psychedelic history, research, neurobiology, risk, and therapeutic potential. The courses are aimed at building critical literacy around psychedelic science, culture, and policy rather than awarding a practitioner credential.
