Overview

Through courses and fieldwork, learn to understand cognitive and social emotional development from a strength-based perspective. Be prepared to address issues that impact student learning, from mental health to learning-related conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, family issues, learning disabilities, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Learn to use evidence-based practices in psychological and academic assessments, data collection and analysis, individual and group counseling, crisis response, consultation, and intervention and to advocate professionally and ethically. Partner with students, families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to support individual students and to improve school-wide practices and policies.

A bachelor’s degree in any field is required; this program lends itself to those who studied psychology, education, community youth development, social sciences, or the humanities. You’ll be prepared to become a certified school psychologist and deliver professional services to children, adolescents, and families.
