Indiana State’s Educational Specialist (EdS) degree in School Psychology offers you a student-centered, comprehensive education. In addition to your coursework, you will gain extensive experience through fieldwork experiences beginning in the first semester of study. This blending of academics and fieldwork ensures you will gain the theory, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills needed for success as a licensed school psychologist. This 63-credit-hour program may be completed on a full-time (3-year) or part-time (4-year) basis.<br><br>Note: The EdS degree is regarded as an advanced practitioner’s degree and, as such, is a continuation of work completed in pursuit of a master’s degree. Students admitted to this program will earn the master of education (MEd) in School Psychology en route to completion of the EdS degree. Students who have already earned a master’s degree in a related field may be offered the opportunity to pursue the EdS degree without also earning the MEd in School Psychology.
