School Psychology

Thank you for your interest in Texas A&M and in the School Psychology program offered by the Department of Educational Psychology. The doctoral School Psychology program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association as offering training in school psychology with an emphasis in clinical child psychology. It is also approved by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). The program strives to train psychologists capable of contributing to the health care of children and adolescents experiencing mental, academic, emotional, and behavioral difficulties, especially as related to the educational process, at the individual and organizational levels. Since such individuals may be encountered in a variety of settings, the training program attempts to equip students to work in a variety of private and institutional settings in addition to public and private schools.

Our graduates are employed in diverse settings and roles: faculty in academic departments of School Psychology, psychologists employed by public schools, and psychologists in private practice, medical centers, residential treatment centers, and child guidance clinics.
