School Psychology

The School Psychology Program at Michigan State University prepares school psychologists to work with educators, children, youth, and families to promote individuals’ learning and development particularly in relation to schooling.

It is led by renowned faculty in the field who are committed to research, impact and helping prepare new scholars to enter the workforce and make a difference.

The program offers two degrees:

  • Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
  • Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in School Psychology
