Program(s) Philosophy
The School Psychology Program at National—Louis University is designed to help students integrate theory, research and practice in psychology and education. The program focuses on better understanding the nature of individuals' learning and the conditions and contexts that maximize learning and development. Students take course work designed to examine psychological theories and research and engage in experiences that bridge theory, research and practice in learning environments.
Students may enroll in the School Psychology program at pre-doctoral or the doctoral level. At the pre-doctoral level, students need to complete the M.Ed. or M.S.Ed. in Educational Psychology and the Ed.S. degree in School Psychology. Students interested in obtaining the doctoral degree may apply to the doctoral program upon completion of the master's degree. Students in both the pre-doctoral and the doctoral levels must apply to the School Psychology certification program and complete all School Psychology certification requirements to be eligible for the state of Illinois School Psychology certification.
Individuals who have completed a B.A. or B.S. degree in psychology, education, or a related field apply first to the School Psychology program and to the M.Ed. or M.S.Ed. degree in Educational Psychology. Upon completion of the master's requirements, students submit an application to the Ed.S. degree. Students may enroll in Ed.S. level courses only after admission to the Ed.S. degree.
Individuals who apply to the School Psychology program after having completed a master's degree in education, psychology or a related field do not need to complete another master's degree. They apply directly to the Ed.S. degree. However, individuals who did not complete their master's level studies at our School Psychology program will still need to take all courses required for School Psychology certification. The School Psychology program coordinator evaluates their transcripts and may approve prior course work as meeting the School Psychology program's requirements if they are equivalent in content and if they have been taken within ten years of admission. Exception to this may be granted if the individual has taken courses more than ten years prior to admission, but has maintained his or her knowledge in the content area through on-going work, Undergraduate level courses will not be accepted as meeting the School Psychology program requirement.
