These workers also will be needed to help students whose educational, behavioral or developmental issues affect their ability to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 51ÁÔÆæ, you\u2019ll develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this growing field. The Department of Educational Psychology offers a PhD degree program with a concentration in School Psychology. Our School Psychology PhD students gain a broad theoretical background, as well as evidence-based clinical skills through didactic, field placement, practica and internship experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a strong urban mission, our program is dedicated to increasing knowledge, sensitivity and awareness of practices best suited for individuals from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. We use a scientist-practitioner model and emphasize principles of biological, psychological, cultural and sociological sciences as applied to urban schools, mental health and educational settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-program-handbooks\">Program Handbooks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more through our program handbooks, which describe the program models, entry requirements, objectives, typical course of study and completion requirements in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/panthers.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/soe-web\/EbBI6ATckupPjG6Rb0RsFXkBp8Z7_PSFIXc7HVgZUGWC-g?e=4oYbsV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PhD Program Handbook (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/panthers.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/soe-web\/EVQmW4a_fmdKrd84UK8_42kBnQQWMixwxO9B85G2jl6eHg?e=d0undl\">PhD Practicum Handbook (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/panthers.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/soe-web\/ERzENJh15PBNsS7jHTtErxoBZTnnNNwuchpKo77MYETkIg?e=ZCOy7L\">PhD Program Internship Handbook (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-program-data\">Program Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/panthers.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/soe-web\/EXcHhYmIUBRMvz0yTYfKkFwBFm9d1FBHRHFvQ16LI4udsA?e=hDobgH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student Admissions, Outcomes, and Other Data Tables&nbsp;(PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-student-support-and-program-costs\">Student Support and Program Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctoral students are eligible to apply for research and project assistantships and fellowships through 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Educational Psychology Doctoral Program and through the Graduate School.

Faculty members in the School Psychology program have been highly successful in attaining extramural funding and have received more than $7 million in federal grant funding since 2002.
