¿Qué aprenderé?

School psychology is not only a fulfilling career path — it’s also a growing and in-demand profession.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts employment of school psychologists will continue to grow because of an increased awareness of the connection between mental health and learning. These workers also will be needed to help students whose educational, behavioral or developmental issues affect their ability to learn.

At UWM, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this growing field. The Department of Educational Psychology offers an EdS degree program with a concentration in School Psychology. Our students gain a broad theoretical background, as well as evidence-based clinical skills through didactic, field placement, practica and internship experiences.

With a strong urban mission, our program is dedicated to increasing knowledge, sensitivity and awareness of practices best suited for individuals from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. We use a scientist-practitioner model and emphasize principles of biological, psychological, cultural and sociological sciences as applied to urban schools, mental health and educational settings.

The School Psychology EdS (Educational Specialist) program will prepare you to work as a school psychologist and leads to licensure from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Based on a scientist-practitioner model and coursework in educational psychology and complementary disciplines, our program emphasizes a concrete link between theory, research and practice through core school psychology courses and supervised practical and internships.
