Choosing
the setting for the next step in your professional education is not an
easy task. There
are many excellent programs from which to choose, large and small,
close-by and distant, old and new.
The School Psychology faculty at UNLV believe that we may have just the right place for you. We are a new doctoral program, built with a template of NASP and APA accreditation standards, with our doctoral studies embedded as a specialization strand within a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology. Our doctoral students are being prepared for positions as school psychology trainers, supervisors, and advanced practitioners in clinical and academic settings.
Intrigued? Our doctoral students are experienced practitioners being trained as clinical scientists to bridge the gap between practice and research. Housed in a nationally ranked educational psychology department, their programs include core coursework in learning and cognition, research methodologies, and state-of-the-art training in the practice of school psychology.
Below
are some illustrative responses when asked what they might want to tell
you about the program:
Interested? In February we will begin screening to select a new cohort of students to begin in the Fall of 2006. You can click here for information about the admission process and the application forms. An overall description of the Ph.D. requirements for this specialization is available by clicking here.
General information about the UNLV campus is here.
