Program(s) Philosophy

The mission of Fordham’s school psychology programs is to educate professional psychologists who are capable of linking knowledge, gained through psychological science, to educational efforts in contemporary society. The programs emphasize training to maximize the educational and social-emotional development of children in urban settings, especially children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The major impact of these programs occurs in the New York metropolitan area, a diverse community of people ranging from the economically disadvantaged to the wealthy. It is a large community that demands many varied psychological and educational services. Through course work and field experiences, the programs attempt to provide students with a sensitivity and understanding of the special needs of those whose cultural backgrounds and/or language skills make their quality of education a particular challenge.
