In the second year, students must complete a minimum 1200-hour supervised internship in School Psychology. Students must initiate a written Specialist Project in the first year and bring it to completion prior to their final semester of internship. All applicants must possess a Masters Degree in School Psychology from a NASP - accredited institution or an institution that trains at an equivalent standard. The Coordinator, in consultation with the School Psychology committee, will determine if this requirement has been met. The Education Specialist Program admits students only in the spring of the year for classes beginning the following fall term.
Admitted students are also free to take summer term classes.
All application materials including the Graduate Studies application and all additional application requirements must be received by March 1. Following the March 1 deadline, the School Psychology Committee will review packets and inform all applicants as to their admission status by mail. Applicants with complete application packets who are requesting early admission consideration due to competing deadlines should inform the Program Coordinator with a written request. A grade point average of 3.00 must be maintained throughout the degree sequence. The degree must be completed within seven years following the earliest credited course.
