Course Details

Ed.S. in School Psychology

Course Description

The demand for trained, caring, school psychologists is at an all-time high at both public and private schools, due to the growing social, emotional, cognitive, and mental health needs of children and families. The Chicago Campus' Ed.S. in School Psychology program is based on an integrative-systemic model aimed at enhancing the educational experience for diverse youth populations. Students benefit from superior theoretical preparation, coupled with an unrivaled amount of real-world experience, and spend almost half of their time working in a school setting over the duration of the program. Graduates emerge from the program with in-depth understanding of the impact various mental health treatments have on children and adolescents and the skills to help this population succeed academically, emotionally, and socially. The program also teaches essential diagnostic, therapeutic, and consultative skills; prevention and crisis practice and theory; research and program evaluation methodologies; the impact of diversity and cultural issues in the field; and the legal, ethical, and professional guidelines of school psychology. The program qualifies graduates to sit for the National Certification in School Psychology (NCSP) examination and earn a Type 73 certification/endorsement with a specialization in School Psychology in the state of Illinois.
