School Psychology
Fully accredited by the National Association of School Psychology (NASP), the school psychology program emphasizes the role of the school psychologist as that of a facilitator of human potential.
- The program integrates a relation model with a solution focused theoretical framework, preparing students to be interpersonally skilled, data-oriented problem solvers.
- Central to the program focus is the understanding of children within a "systems" context, including the family, the school, and the socio-cultural environment.
- Students are prepared in assessment for intervention, counseling, consultation, and applied research.
- The program expects students to have a commitment to academic excellence, personal growth, professional responsibility and sensitivity to others.
