Best School Psychology Programs

A master's in school psychology trains students to apply psychological principles in K-12 educational settings. The program typically covers assessment, intervention strategies, counseling, and consultation skills. It prepares graduates to address students' learning, social, emotional, and behavioral needs, and to collaborate with teachers and parents to create supportive learning environments. Note that becoming a school psychologist may require a more advanced degree, like an Ed.S., Psy.D., or Ph.D.
