Educational Psychology, M.Ed.: School Psychology Concentration

About the Educational Psychology, M.Ed.: School Psychology Concentration

The 62-hour School Psychology Concentration of the M.Ed. in Educational Psychology is designed for those who wish to meet the training requirements to practice psychology in the schools. Graduates of this concentration are eligible for licensure/certification as school psychologists depending on their state’s requirements. The School Psychology Concentration prepares students for evidence-based practice and to critically evaluate these practices to ensure effective outcomes for their clients. The Concentration trains students to provide research-based services which meaningfully benefit children, families, schools, teachers, and communities. Students are mentored in the field to simultaneously engage in the provision of psychological services in educational settings and evaluate each stage of service delivery. This is accomplished through community and school-based experiences that accompany coursework at each year of study. These experiences are carefully and uniquely guided by university supported clinical staff and researchers who facilitate partnerships across area schools, especially those in rural communities without access to comprehensive and integrated school psychological services.
