School Psychology Ed.S.

The Specialist program is designed for those students who wish to become school psychologist practitioners. Training is primarily oriented toward the acquisition of those skills necessary for effective functioning in the educational environment as a school psychologist. The program is based on the student entering with a bachelor's degree. A student with a master's degree in an area of professional psychology should meet with his or her advisor to develop a specific plan of study. A course in abnormal psychology is prerequisite to the program and must be completed prior to or during the first year of study.

 

This program is accredited by the National Association of School Psychologists and leads to licensure as a School Psychologist through the Colorado Department of Education.
