SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

School Psychology is a doctoral level program in the Division of Advanced Studies in Learning, Technology, and Psychology in Education. Students earn the Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) in Educational Psychology with a concentration in School Psychology. The goal of the program is the development of doctoral level scientist-practitioners who have strong research and applied skills and who bring an empirical problem solving perspective to their work. Students are prepared for careers as psychologists in schools, other educationally related settings, and universities. Because all program students complete core courses in several areas of psychology and education along with supervised training, they are eligible for certification by state education agencies and are academically eligible to take the national examinations for independent practice in psychology and national certification as school psychologists.
