Harold Abel School of Psychology
School Psychology Specialization
Prepare yourself to address the social, emotional, academic, behavioral, and cognitive well-being of children
and adolescents within a school setting. This rigorous School Psychology specialization stresses respect for individual differences,
collaborative problem solving, and empirically-based interventions. It includes online course work, part I of a year-in-residence,
and field training experiences. Learners interested in applying for state licensure or national certification as a school
psychologist will need to enroll in both this master's degree specialization and the Specialist Certificate in School Psychology. People who choose this specialization are typically pursuing
careers as school psychologists, diagnosticians, crisis specialists, or program evaluators in public school districts, but
may also seek employment in other educational settings.
Residency Requirements: Year-in-residence Part I (two residential colloquia and
four weekends-in-residence). See year-in-residence details
Licensure Information: For detailed information about obtaining professional licensure please see our licensure FAQ.
