The Ph.D. program in school psychology follows the scientist-practitioner approach for graduate education in health service psychology. This training equips students to apply psychological science in professional practice while fostering a dedication to advancing psychological research.
The program's objectives focus on developing psychologists skilled in: (1) conducting research relevant to psychology and school psychology, (2) practicing health service psychology, and (3) specializing in school psychology. These goals prepare graduates for diverse career paths including educational research, child psychology, clinical practice in various settings, and academic roles training future professionals.
The American Psychological Association accredits this program (contact: 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242, 202 336-5979, www.apa.org/ed/accreditation), ensuring it meets established standards for health service psychology education.
While structured as a four-year full-time program, most students complete doctoral requirements in 4-5 years post-bachelor's degree. The curriculum requires at least 100 semester hours (including 15 dissertation research hours) plus a 1500-hour internship meeting school psychology standards.
