What will I learn?

School psychologists are highly trained in both psychology and education. They help children and youth succeed academically, socially and emotionally. School psychologists collaborate with educators, parents and other professionals to create safe, healthy and supportive learning environments for all students that strengthen connections between home and school. In addition to learning foundational concepts, our program incorporates hands-on experiences starting in the first semester. Students will be required to complete 1,200 hours of fieldwork during their course of studies. The blend of theory and practical experience provides a model for success in the student’s internship and career as a school psychologist. The program focuses on moral and ethical standards along with faith integration in the field. Graduates of the program share a deeply rooted commitment to recognize and realize the potential of every child and student.
