About Master’s Program,
The program prepares graduates to work with children in schools to provide comprehensive behavioral and mental health services, including diagnostic assessment, academic and behavioral interventions, consultation to promote both individual and school-wide learning, and school-based counseling.
We have designed our curriculum to align with the National Association of School Psychologists’ training standards and have enjoyed consistent accreditation since the program’s inception. With our accreditation, graduates are eligible to apply to become Nationally Certified School Psychologists. Consistent with these training standards, students will receive training from faculty with extensive experience working in various educational settings, from K-12 public schools to private schools to diagnostic clinics. In addition, students will have the opportunity to engage with faculty from our school counseling and mental health counseling programs to strengthen their ability to support the needs of all learners.
Master’s Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are required for admission into most of our education and counseling/psychology-related programs. Acceptable scores are dependent on the course of study. Speak to your department advisor about what scores are acceptable to the program.
As part of the admission process, some programs require potential applicants to meet with faculty to assess skills and goals for attending the program. You will discuss course requirements and ensure your academic history aligns with the program as well as course scheduling. During the application process, you will be given information to set up a meeting with the program. Most programs offer flexible meeting arrangements.
