Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in School Psychology

University of California, Riverside (Business)

UC Riverside's School of Education School Psychology program is the only American Psychological Association-accredited doctoral program in Southern California. Students in our APA-accredited and National Association of School Psychologists-approved program benefit from our nationally recognized rigorous course of study and desirable location in the heart of the economically vibrant and demographically diverse Inland Empire region of Southern California.

We train students as scientist-practitioners who contribute to the body of accumulated knowledge in the field as well as address problems affecting K-12 pupils’ learning, behavior, and cognition. The School Psychology program promotes an eco-behavioral theoretical model emphasizing skill development using evidence-based practice derived from applied behavior analytic, cognitive-behavioral, and social learning theory and research.
