Overview

The Master of Science in School Psychology with Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) Credential program prepares ethical, culturally responsive school psychologists who advocate for equitable, safe, and diverse PK–12 learning environments where all children can thrive. The program equips graduates to utilize expertise in mental health, psychoeducational assessment, behavior intervention, and learning to partner with school administrators, teachers, and families to enrich the academic, social, and emotional lives of children. The Master of Science in School Psychology curriculum is designed to train students to apply the consultation skills, psychological practices, leadership skills, and collaborative practices required to meet the comprehensive needs of the increasingly diverse populations of children, families, schools, and communities they serve. In total, the master’s degree program consists of 64 units and can be completed in three years. The LaFetra College of Education is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, and the MS in School Psychology program is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. In order to earn the Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) Credential, students must complete 64 units of coursework, 450 hours of practicum, and 1,200 hours of fieldwork in educational settings. They also must pass the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) Praxis exam. A Pupil Personnel Services Credential qualifies individuals to work as professional school psychologists in educational settings with students from preschool to grade 12 in the state of California. Two levels of supervised field work are required for the Master of Science in School Psychology program. This requirement is typically fulfilled through internships. Master’s students may qualify for the School Psychology Internship Credential if they: have passed the CBEST; have a Certificate of Clearance; have successfully completed the following courses:ASCD 503 and 550, SPSY 502, 535, 547, 549, 560, 564, 567, 571, 572, 573, 574, 577, 578, 579, 586A-I, 586A-II, 587 B-III, 587 B-IV, and a 3-unit elective with a minimum 3.0 GPA; and have received district certified letter of intent to hire.
