Program(s) Philosophy
The Murray State University school psychology certification program was specifically developed to provide professionals from related fields (e.g., clinical psychology, special education, school counseling) the coursework and experience needed to become certified as a school psychologist in Kentucky and other states. The program adheres to NASP training standards and focuses on training students in a range of formal and informal assessment procedures, intervention techniques, and consultation strategies. The program strives to extend and refine the skills and experiences possessed by the returning, often nontraditional student when they enter the program. The end goal is to provide graduates with the problem solving skills needed to serve a wide range of children and their needs.
