Course Provider
Public university in St. Joseph, Missouri, home to Dr. Christine Ziemer's pioneering undergraduate courses in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and transpersonal psychology covering psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, and ayahuasca research and therapeutic applications. Dr. Ziemer founded the Psychedelic Educators Network, serves as executive director of the Psychedelic Society of Kansas City, and supports harm reduction through the Fireside Project and Zendo Project, making Missouri Western a notable hub for Midwestern psychedelic education.
Missouri Western State University looks less like a stand-alone psychedelic training provider and more like a mainstream public university that has hosted a small but unusually visible cluster of psychedelic teaching inside psychology and honours. The reputation signal is strongest on the academic side, with Dr Christine Ziemer’s courses and related talks framed as undergraduate, research-led education rather than practitioner certification. It seems best suited to students and adjacent learners who want a sober, university-based introduction to psychedelic science, transpersonal psychology and harm reduction, rather than a clinical credential or formal licensure pathway.
Best for undergraduate students, honours students, and intellectually curious learners in psychology or related fields who want an evidence-based overview of psychedelic science and transpersonal psychology. It may also suit aspiring practitioners or clinicians looking for academic grounding, but it does not appear to be a dedicated professional training institute.
For PSY 270 and PSY 275, the catalog lists PSY 101 as a prerequisite. Broader honours participation at Missouri Western is for academically strong matriculated students, with general studies honours and major honours having GPA and credit-hour thresholds.
Missouri Western State University is a public university, and its psychology department and honours programme are part of its normal accredited higher-education offerings. The psychedelic-related content located is described as undergraduate coursework and honours colloquium, not as a separate accredited certification or CME/CE programme.
No separate psychedelic-course fee was found. The likely cost is the standard university tuition and fees for enrolled students, plus any course-specific materials or fees that may apply; Missouri Western’s published 2025-2026 undergraduate tuition and fees are $15,450 for Missouri residents and $25,320 for non-residents for full-time study, with course-specific fees varying by schedule.
Learners appear to walk away with undergraduate course credit and, where relevant, honours credit, plus foundational competencies in psychedelic history, science, ethics, policy, risk reduction, peer support, and transpersonal psychology. There is no evidence of a distinct external credential or therapist certification.
