School Psychology M.Ed.

(33 credits)

The master of education (M.Ed.) in school psychology is completed en route to earning the educational specialist (Ed.S.) in school psychology or the doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) in guidance and psychological services with specialization in school psychology. This M.Ed. does not qualify an individual for state licensure or national certification as a school psychologist. Therefore, all applications to the M.Ed. program must be accompanied by an application to either the Ed.S. or Ph.D. program in school psychology. Admission and retention are based upon appropriateness of educational and career goals, available positions in the program, interpersonal skills, communication ability, and academic and clinical performance. Meeting minimum standards alone does not guarantee either admission or retention.
