This program caters to those pursuing careers in school psychology. To satisfy Virginia's certification standards for school psychologists, participants must finish a 70-hour preparatory program culminating in an educational specialist degree. Admission priority goes to candidates committed to full graduate studies.
Three core focus areas:
Instruction in fundamental psychological theories and educational philosophy,
Practical training in consultation, evaluation, and intervention techniques,
Skill implementation in educational environments.
School psychology continues to develop as a profession, with growing need for practitioners. Beyond evaluations, modern school psychologists provide counseling, collaborate with educators and families, deliver professional development, and engage in research.

The three-year curriculum begins with a Master of Education (MEd) phase, followed by completion of the Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) credential required for school psychologist certification.

The William & Mary School of Education receives applications each year from all over the world, and we understand the difficulties students have communicating with higher education institutions that are in a different country. Because we value international students, we hope to make the admission procedure as smooth as possible for everyone.
Although a minimum score for admission has not been issued, international students who are typically admitted score at least 100 on the Internet version of the TOEFL (or comparable score on other versions of the exam) or a 7.0 on the IELTS, or a score of 95 on the Duolingo English Test.
