Overview

The master’s degree requirements in Educational Psychology - School Psychology include 31 graduate credits and passing the comprehensive exam. After completing the master’s degree requirement, students move on to the EdS degree program. An EdS degree is required for a school psychology license. As such, the master’s degree is not a terminal degree.
