There are two options for masters school psychology students to complete their school psychology internship requirements: Option 1 requires students to complete PSY 750: 4 credits (3 days per week, over 20 weeks, in a school setting) and PSY 751: 4 credits (4 days per week, over 20 weeks, in a school setting). This option is completed during one year of study. Option 1 includes a three-hour seminar once a week for the 40 weeks of school psychology internship. Option 2 requires students to complete PSY 760: 2 credits (2 days per week, over 20 weeks, in a school setting), PSY 761: 2 credits (2 days per week, over 20 weeks, in a school setting), PSY 762: 2 credits (2 days per week, over 20 weeks in a school setting), and PSY 763: 2 credits (2 days per week, over 20 weeks, in a school setting).

The M.S.ED program has the school psychology internship as its final culminating experience. To enhance this experience, students enroll in PSY 734 (Consultation) and PSY 759 (Early Childhood and Infant Assessment) early in their internship (fall). These courses facilitate integration of prior learning and broaden the final internship field experience.
Note: Candidates who want New Jersey school psychology certification, should consult the Program Director.
