EdS in School Psychology

University of Toledo

The graduate program in school psychology meets the education requirements for licensure in Ohio and many other states. The program is approved by the National Association of School Psychologists and accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. Both the master of arts and the education specialist degree requirements must be completed by the student to be licensed as a school psychologist in Ohio and to be a nationally certified school psychologist. The Ed.S. program is designed for three years of full-time study. The complete program, including the MA and EdS, includes approximately 78 credit hours, a two-semester pre-practica experience during the first year, a two-semester practica experience during the second year, and a 9-month, full-time internship (minimum of 1200 clock hours) in a school setting completed during the third year. Students earn a master of arts (MA) after completing a minimum of 30 hours of coursework and 100 pre-practica experience hours. The education specialist (EdS) degree is earned after completion of the remaining coursework, practica experience and internship.
