Prepare to support students’ behavioral, emotional and learning needs with the Educational Specialist (EdS) in School Psychology in the College of Education and Human Development at Temple University. Our National Association of School Psychologists (NASP)-approved program equips you with the practical skills and knowledge to address developmental challenges and meet the demands of school psychology in diverse educational settings.
Full-time students complete the degree in three years, with two years of coursework and field work, followed by a yearlong full-time school psychology internship. The EdS program provides comprehensive coursework and clinical training through multiple school-based practicum placements, a clinic-based practicum and a ~1,200-hour internship in a school setting. Our on-campus psychoeducational clinic offers hands-on experience working with families in an urban environment, sharpening your clinical skills. Graduates are highly sought after for their expertise in academic, intellectual, social-emotional, assessment and intervention. Dedicated to promoting social justice, diversity and inclusion, the school psychologist program fosters a collaborative learning environment where students are encouraged to challenge and improve best practices in the field.

The School Psychology EdS meets requirements for certification as a school psychologist in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and most other states as well as eligibility for the National Certification (NCSP) through NASP.
