Master of Science in Educational Psychology-School Psychology

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

The master’s degree in Educational Psychology (School Psychology concentration) is designed as part of the Educational Specialist (EdS) degree in School Psychology. Students earn a master’s degree along the way to their EdS degree upon completion of the master’s degree requirements. The School Psychology MS degree requirements include 31 graduate credits and passing the comprehensive exam. After completing the master’s degree requirement, students move on to the EdS degree program. An EdS degree is required for a school psychology license. As such, the master’s degree is not a terminal degree.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 biological, social-cognitive, developmental and ecological systems theories as applied to serving children from diverse backgrounds in schools.
