The School Psychology program is designed to provide high quality education and training to prepare competent school psychologists for meeting the educational and personal adjustment of children and adolescents in public and private schools. Based on the scientist-practitioner model, students develop skills in research, assessment, prevention, academic and behavioral intervention, consultation with school professionals and parents, program development, and staff training. Although the primary thrust of the program is to certify school psychologists in the State of Illinois, many current graduates migrate to other states where they also qualify for state certification.
