School Psychology M.Ed. Program for Students
Entering September 2007
(Approved by SCPS Faculty November 2006) |
Students should consult with their Advisor
for the typical sequence of courses for the M.Ed.
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 courses, and
an internship 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. |
