Students should consult with their
Advisor for the typical sequence of courses for
the M.A. program in School Psychology. Individual
programs vary depending on student academic background
and preparation, as well as academic and professional
goals.
The program is designed as a three-year program
with two years of full time study on campus, including some summer coursework, and
an internship and thesis research in Year 3.
Students develop an individual program of studies
with their advisor, have it reviewed and approved
by the school psychology program committee and
file an official Program of Graduate Studies
(PGS) with the ECPS Department Graduate Office
during their first term of study. Once the Program
of Graduate Studies is approved, any subsequent
changes, additions or deletions require the approval
of the advisor, student, and Department Graduate
Coordinator. |
