Overview

This Psychology - School Psychology graduate program at Towson University emphasizes early intervention and the use of data-driven, systematic problem-solving to address the needs of children and adolescents in the school setting. As part of a small cohort, you learn to provide consultation to teachers, families, and administrators; to complete comprehensive psychological evaluations of children and adolescents who present with social, emotional, academic and behavioral difficulties; and to offer direct counseling and intervention to children and adolescents. Throughout the program, you learn to evaluate the outcomes of services to ensure their effectiveness. The program promotes intervention and evaluation techniques that are empirically sound and sensitive to the diverse population of students that school psychologists serve.
