School Psychology, M.Ed

This full-time, two-year degree program prepares graduates for a career as a school psychologist. School Psychologists are essential to ensuring that local, national and international schools and school districts deliver culturally responsive mental health services to all students. The program’s curriculum prepares students to deliver evidenced-based services to K-12 students. Students will learn to conduct and evaluate research.  In addition to being prepared for careers as school psychologists, graduates are prepared to pursue school and district leadership roles.
