School Psychology Psy.D.

The Psy.D. program prepares school psychologists to integrate psychological theory, research, and established methods of scientific inquiry into effective practice; and to engage in research and evaluation activities that contribute to the science and practice of psychology. Specifically, the Program prepares graduates as life-long learners who engage in the issues of cultural and individual diversity. Students are involved in a systematic and reasoned, sequential plan of study which includes integrated course work in general psychology and professional school psychology, field training experiences, and opportunities to engage in research and evaluation of psychological practice. The sequential plan of study is designed to aid the students' attainment of the knowledge necessary to engage in and enhance psychological practice. This program is accredited by the American Psychological Association.
