School Psychology and School-Clinical Child Psychology

This guide is designed to support research in the MSEd and PhD programs in School Psychology and the PsyD in School-Clinical Child Psychology program at Pace NYC.

This M.S. Ed. degree program in School Psychology trains students to provide psycho-educational services in the school setting.  Students receive course and field work in assessment, consultation, and intervention and are trained to provide assessment and diagnostic services for individual children and adolescents, design and implement school research and evaluation projects, and offer assistance to teachers and other educational professionals.

The PhD in School Psychology program is designed to provide education and training in school psychology within a scientist-practitioner model.

This doctoral program in School-Clinical Child Psychology carefully integrates field experience with academic preparation within a practitioner-scholar training model.  Students are trained in psychological foundations, assessment and evaluation techniques, remediation and intervention procedures, and program evaluation and research. The goal of the program is to prepare professional psychologists as health service providers with expertise in school and clinical psychology.  Research methodology and theoretical academic subjects are essential parts of the program, but emphasis is placed on professional preparation.
