Earning an Educational Specialist degree (Ed.S.) in school psychology enables professionals to work as school psychologists across most U.S. school districts. The University of Arizona's School Psychology Program delivers a thorough, cohesive curriculum designed to qualify graduates for National Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) certification. Students can pursue their Ed.S. degree at either of the university's two Arizona campuses - Tucson or Chandler. Both locations focus on developing clinical skills and professional expertise while integrating scholarly research into practice. This Ed.S. program holds accreditation from the National Association of School Psychologists.
