专业概况

In response to the growing need for school psychologists to ensure the mental health and safety of our children, there has been an increasing demand for qualified psychologists to serve in schools and other academic institutions.

Named one of the Best Careers in 2009 by U.S. News World and Report and forecasted to grow by 11% through 2018 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field of school psychology is flourishing especially for those who hold graduate degrees.

You can prepare for this thriving field through the Master of Science in School Psychology Program at St. John’s University. Offered by St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the program educates students to become New York state certified school psychologists. We offer this program at our Queens Campus, and allow you to complete the majority of your coursework at our Long Island Graduate Center at Hauppauge as long as you complete at least one course in Queens.

Program Description

Completion of the 66-credit Master of Science program in School Psychology qualifies students for a provisional New York State certificate that authorizes practice as a school psychologist. This certificate is valid for five years from the date it is issued. After two years of experience, a school psychologist receives a permanent certificate in the field of pupil personnel services. The program offers both a general track and a bilingual track of study.

Career Outcomes

Completion of the 66-credit Master of Science program in School Psychology allows the student to qualify for a provisional New York State Certificate that authorizes practice as a school psychologist. This certificate is valid for five years from the date of issuance; with the accumulation of two years of experience as a school psychologist, a permanent certificate is issued in the field of pupil personnel services. The program is offered at the Queens campus and Long Island Graduate Center at Hauppauge.

Although the M.S. program has been designed to train the student for professional practice, it is academically oriented as well and provides sound preparation for further graduate work.

The program will prepare graduates to:

• Demonstrate effective consultation and collaboration skills, using consultative models for problem-solving.
• Demonstrate satisfactory performance in working individually with parents, teachers, or the schools to address a student’s behavioral, social/emotional, psychological, or academic difficulties.
• Justify the reason for a referral and indicate the different perspectives of the school administration, teachers, parents, and child.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the community resources and assist with recommendations.
• Communicate assessment conclusions and recommendations to other agencies.
