School Psychology PhD
|
|
The Ph.D. in School Psychology builds on the NASP approved Ed.S. in School Psychology. School psychologists work in public and private school systems, colleges and universities, preschool and child-development centers, and private practice. Typical responsibilities include assessment, diagnosis, consultation, program planning and intervention services to preschool and school-age children with educational, emotional and behavioral problems. This degree extends the school psychologist’s skills in the area of supervision or more in-depth understanding of school psychological practice, and research methodology. Since the EdS School Psychology degree is part of the PhD School Psychology, students entering must have either graduated with the EdS, or be concurrently enrolled. Licensure/certification as a school psychologist is necessary for practice in that field, so graduates of the EdS may be certified to practice in Michigan and may apply for a Nationally Certified School Psychology certificate from the National School Psychologists Association.
