The mission of our Educational Specialist (EdS) in School Psychology program is to prepare school psychologists to deliver comprehensive school psychological services within an urban, multicultural setting for the purpose of promoting children's educational and psychological development.<br>Our program aims to produce graduates who are sensitive to individual, cultural, and linguistic differences and who value and protect the interests and welfare of those they serve.<br>The School Psychology program requires a minimum of 70 graduate credit hours to receive the Education Specialist degree. Our National Association of School Psychologists-approved program is grounded in a scientist-practitioner model of professional preparation and prepares students to become culturally responsive school psychologists ready to serve all children from ethnically and racially diverse backgrounds in various educational and mental health systems. This is accomplished by analyzing children's learning, behavior, and functioning from an ecological perspective to inform interventions that promote child and school success. School psychologists rely on scientific inquiry, data-based decision-making and social justice advocacy to solve problems encountered in professional practice and to evaluate the effectiveness of their professional services.
