School psychologists focus on improving academic, developmental, and social/emotional outcomes for students in the school environment. Candidates are trained to provide assessment, intervention, and consultation services while serving students from the preschool through high school level.
- Mental Health Counseling: Our master's degree in counseling is now accepting applications for Fall 2026. See the Mental Health Counseling page for more information.
