School Psychology - Admission Requirements

All applicants must have an undergraduate degree in psychology or a related discipline (i.e. child development, education, social work) from a regionally accredited college or university AND satisfy the prerequisite course requirements (see below).  Satisfying the prerequisite course requirements in-and-of themselves does NOT supplant the requirement for a relevant undergraduate degree. Applicants must also have an overall undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. 

We are an in-person program.

A Statement of Intent outlining the applicant’s motivations and goals for graduate study and how prior education and work relate to School Psychology.

The following prerequisites are required to be completed before the start of the program:

• General Psychology 
• Introductory Statistics 
• Research Methods 
• Developmental Psychology 
• Tests and Measurement 
• Personality Theory OR Abnormal Psychology
