Introduction

Meet the Growing Demand for School Psychologists Our educational system urgently needs more school psychologists to drive better learning and mental health, safety, positive climates, stronger family/school collaboration, and higher institutional accountability. If you’re inspired by the challenge, your timing couldn’t be better. There’s a national shortage of qualified experts, and these skills are in demand. The NSU Psy.D. in School Psychology program prepares you to serve the educational, behavioral, social, and emotional needs of students, families, teachers, and staff. Collaborate closely with top-tier faculty who have built experience at the highest levels and earned the respect of their peers nationwide. Class size is strictly small: approximately 10 candidates are chosen per year. This is so each of you is assured faculty access and mentoring few other programs can match. (In fact, the close faculty/student collaboration is frequently mentioned by NSU alumni as one of the standout benefits.) 1 of 10 Psy. D. Programs in School Psychology  The College of Psychology Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) program in School Psychology is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. Questions related to the accredited status of the program should be directed to the Commission on Accreditation. The doctoral curriculum is designed to be consistent with the Florida state licensure requirements as both a school psychologist and a psychologist under Chapter 490, Florida Statutes. National NASP Recognition The NSU School Psychology Psy.D program also holds the designation of national recognition by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). Unique Clinical and Internship Experiences You’ll turn theory into satisfying practice through your assessment, consultation, and intervention at the University School of NSU (U School). You’ll also broaden your clinical practice perspective at the school-related Psychological Assessments and Clinical Interventions (SPACI) Clinic, housed within the NSU Psychology Services Center. Here are some of the reasons why students chose NSU. Small class sizes give you one-to-one access to professors.

Students build relationships by participating in numerous community events, many held on NSU’s campus.
