School Psychology
Follow Us!
Accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) and approved by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), our 91-credit Psy.D. in School Psychology program at Duquesne University is designed to be consistent with the local-clinical scientist model of training.
You will be trained in evidence-based practices founded in scientific literature and theory, and are additionally trained to consider local contextual variables when implementing these practices. You'll learn to adapt empirically-validated research programs and interventions for use in unique practice settings, and with unique individuals and communities. Consistent with this model of training, each student intensively studies and addresses a problem of applied practice identified by a practice site in the year-long Applied Project.
Graduates are license eligible for independent practice and are prepared to work in
schools, hospitals, and child agencies and clinics. Our modern curriculum employs
aspects of multiculturalism and diversity, examining emerging trends in the profession,
conducting continuous outcomes assessments for program improvement, and providing
support to our students and alumni.
