(63 credits)
The educational specialist (Ed.S.) degree in school psychology is designed to prepare persons for school-based practice as licensed school psychologists. The program aspires to prepare professional school psychologists through the integration of theoretical, empirical, technical, and interpersonal competencies in the application of a problem-solving model. The program is approved by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP).
The Ed.S. degree is regarded as an advanced practitioner’s degree and, as such, is a continuation of work completed in pursuit of a master’s degree. Students admitted to this program may earn the master of education (M.Ed.) in School Psychology en route to completion of the Ed.S. degree. Students who have already earned a master’s degree in a related field may be offered the opportunity to pursue the Ed.S. degree without also earning the M.Ed. in School Psychology.
