Doctoral Program in School Psychology

The Doctoral program in its entirety represents approximately a five-year course of study, including a yearlong internship. Students are accepted into this program at the bachelor's, master's, and specialist levels. The first two years of the PhD program roughly parallel the specialist program and students without an advanced degree also typically earn a MS degree after the first year of the program. The PhD program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation (750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242, phone: 202-336-5979) and NASP. The doctoral program also yields school psychology certification and is designed to qualify graduates for licensure as a psychologist.

A full description of the requirements for the PhD in School Psychology are fully described in the program Handbook, which will be forthcoming on this site in Fall 2009.
