The Applied Educational Psychology and School Psychology programs prepare scientist-practitioners who collaborate with teachers, parents, school personnel, and community members to promote educationally and psychologically healthy environments for all children and youth. All children and youth includes young people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, races, ethnicities, cultures, languages, geographic locations, religions, genders, and abilities.
Candidates for these programs should possess a keen interest in collaboration, a strong work ethic, and a compassionate, empathic disposition. Our students don’t wait until they graduate to make their professional contributions. Many Applied Educational Psychology students will write a thesis; all students contribute to the “knowledge base” in educational and school psychology through professional projects, presentations, and publications.
Whether you’re seeking an undergraduate or graduate degree, we'll help you achieve academic excellence preparing you for future career successes. The first step is to fill out our application.
