counseling and school psychology
The Department of Counseling and School Psychology offers programs leading to the master of science degree and/or a sixth year professional diploma in either Community Counseling, School Counseling or School Psychology. Programs in School Counseling and School Psychology lead to State of Connecticut certification. Once admitted, continued matriculation in any Counseling and School Psychology program is contingent upon positive, on-going faculty evaluation of the graduate student in academic knowledge; practitioner competencies; and professional characteristics such as stability, effectiveness in interpersonal relationships, openness to feedback, the fulfillment of responsibilities in a cooperative and conscientious manner, and the active pursuit of the highest standards of the profession. Students are also required to complete at least twenty hours of approved community service as part of their program requirements for graduation.
