The education specialist degree program in school psychology is a 64-credit graduate course of study, leading to certification in school psychology in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The program is fully approved by the National Association of School Psychology. Upon completion of a specified 30 credit hours of coursework, a Master of Science (M.S.) in Psychology, School Psychology, is awarded. Following successful completion of the program, which includes a 1200-hour internship, the candidate is recommended for certification as a school psychologist to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Students may also transfer graduate coursework or a master’s degree in psychology or a related area into the program. When that is the case, a review of previous work will be conducted to determine which competencies have been met and the remaining program requirements.
