About PhD Program,
Miami’s school psychology program is a NASP/CAEP accredited, combined Masters (M.S.) and Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree program. The MS degree is earned during the first portion of the program that leads to a school psychologist licensure. Students gain training in assessment, intervention, consultation, mental health counseling, and research methodology.
Program students complete two years of full-time study on campus, plus one full-time school year as an intern in a cooperating school district. A stipend is provided during the internship year (pending continued funding from the Ohio Department of Education and intern agreement to work in Ohio for a year after graduation).
