Welcome! The Department of Educational Psychology sponsors Master of Arts/Sixth-Year and Doctor of Philosophy programs in school psychology.

The graduate programs in school psychology are integrated and organized programs of professional psychology that prepare scientist-practitioners whose primary professional interests involve children, families, and the educational process. The programs have an orientation that emphasizes the integration of theory and research relative to enhancing individual development. The programs also stress an empirically based intervention approach to the practice of school psychology.

We strive to improve educational and social systems for all by actively embracing diversity, promoting equity, and fostering justice through inclusive environments, and community engagement. The school psychology program falls within the Neag School of Education, and as such, we seek to uphold the Neag School's mission, values, and principles.
