The school psychology program at UW-Stout offers an excellent, comprehensive core curriculum that prepares students for successful careers in school psychology, with an emphasis on experiential learning. With strong ties to the school counseling program, our students get a comprehensive education that prepares them for all aspects of the school psychology role, including assessment, intervention, and collaboration. The first 30 credits of the program lead to a Master’s degree. Thereafter, students pursue the Educational Specialist degree which is conferred following the third year of the program, during which students complete a full-time, site-based internship.
