School Psychology students develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to provide quality and contextually relevant educational and mental health services to children (birth-21 years) and their families. School psychologists practice in school settings and private practice, teach at the university level, and conduct applied research. A specialization in School Psychology provides training in both psychology and education and emphasizes preparation in mental health, child development, school organization, learning, behavior, and motivation.
