Program Overview
The
Brooklyn College School Psychologist Graduate Program strives to
meet our urban community’s need for highly competent,
self-reflective, collaborative, and compassionate school
psychologists. The
program is committed to improving the educational experiences and
addressing the mental health needs of all children in our richly
diverse schools.
The
School Psychologist Graduate Program consists of a rigorous
60-credit curriculum in theory, research, and evidence-based
practice. Extensive
field experiences complement course work.
With a strong background in psychological theory, and
data- based
decision-making, as well as knowledge of effective instructional
techniques and psychological interventions, candidates in

health of all children and youth. The
focus in all coursework is to meet the needs of a diverse school
population, both culturally and linguistically.
