Post-MA Ed.S. Degree in School Psychology
For students with a master’s degree, the School Psychology Program offers a 60-credit (minimum) Post-Master’s degree program which leads to the Educational Specialist Degree (Ed.S.). Upon satisfactory completion of the program, the student is eligible for Washington state ESA certification and national (NCSP) certification.
The Post-Master’s Degree program of study follows requirements for the Post- Bachelor’s Degree Program, but the courses and total credits required are determined on an individual basis dependent on the student’s master’s degree, course work, and the state and national certification requirements. All Post-Master’s Degree students complete a supervised internship of 1200 hours in a school setting.
