M.S. Ed and Ed.S. Degrees in School Psychology

With both a psychology and education backgrounds, school psychologists collaborate with educators, parents and other professionals to ensure that children learn in safe, healthy and supportive environments. UW-Stout's M.S. and Ed.S. degrees in School Psychology emphasize academic preparation as well as hands on clinical experience.

The school psychology program at University of Wisconsin-Stout (UW-Stout) offers an excellent, comprehensive core curriculum that prepares students for successful careers in school psychology, with an emphasis on experiential learning. By then end of their fourth semester, students will have completed both school-based and clinic-based practicum. With strong ties to the school counseling program, many of our students opt to complete a dual-program in school counseling and school psychology, which also includes a counseling practicum experience.

UW-Stout’s program emphasizes academic preparation in psychometrics, assessment, child development, psycho-educational disabilities and learning. Our faculty has additional expertise in the assessment/diagnosis/intervention of English language learners (ELL)/culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) children and youth, autism and developmental disabilities, as well as functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and function-based interventions (FBI).

Additionally, UW-Stout is excited to offer a unique summer immersion program, where participants gain what some have described as a “life-changing experience” working with Spanish speaking and Ngobe Buglé (Native Panamanian) students in Panama. The summer program aims at (1) providing intensive language training for beginner, intermediate, and advance Spanish speaking participants, (2) exposing program participants to the contemporary theories and current professional practices for working with ELL students through a specifically-designed coursework and fieldwork experience in public schools, and (3) high emphasis on participants’ understanding of educational and psychological service delivery systems in Central America and Panama.

Be part of a unique opportunity to study abroad in Panama during the summer. Learn more at the Office of International Education for more information.
