School Psychology students develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to provide quality and contextually relevant educational and mental health services to children (birth ?21 years) and their families. School psychologists practice in school settings and private practice, teach at the university level, and conduct applied research. A specialization in School Psychology provides training in both psychology and education and emphasizes preparation in mental health, child development, school organization, learning, behavior, and motivation.

Psychology Note on Licensure
The Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, and School Psychology specializations are designed to prepare graduates to qualify to sit for psychology licensing exams. These specializations are designed to meet the academic licensure requirements of most state psychology boards. Walden University licensure specializations in psychology are not accredited by the American Psychological Association, which is a requirement for licensure in some states. Because no graduate psychology program can guarantee licensure upon graduation, we encourage students to consult the appropriate agency to determine specific requirements.

For more information about Ph.D. in Psychology specialization licensure and for licensing boards contact information, visit the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (https://www.asppb.org/about/boardContact.aspx). For any of these programs or specializations, you should also contact your appropriate licensing body. International students are encouraged to identify and contact their appropriate licensing body.
