School Psychology Program
Offering the Master
of Education Degree in School Psychology
for the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Exceptional Learner
The purpose of the UTPA
Master of Arts program in School Psychology is to prepare school
psychologists for those schools and agencies which provide treatment
and educational programs in a society which is linguistically,
socioeconomically, and socioculturally pluralistic. The thrust of the 60 semester-hour program
will be for students to acquire the knowledge and develop the abilities
necessary to conduct applied and basic research, program evaluation,
educational and psychological assessment, intervention with students
with academic and behavioral/emotional, needs, and interdisciplinary
consultation with teachers, administrators, parents, and community
agencies. The curriculum in the school psychology program is in
concordance with the scientist-practicioner model for educating school
psychologists and is a joint program with the Departments of
Educational Psychology and Psychology.
