About

Become a practicing school psychologist, conduct independent research, take a leadership role in special education, or prepare for private practice.

This program gives you several career options while you learn from the scientist-practitioner model, in which research and theory will inform your work, and real-world experiences will help your research.

Completion of this 94-credit-hour degree program takes most students five to six years of full-time study. In that time, you'll complete at least 800 hours of practica and 1,500 hours of internship work, which will give you the experience you'll need to earn licensure. You'll also conduct field-based research under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
