The doctoral program adheres to a scientist-practitioner model of graduate education
and requires a total of 108 semester hours of coursework, which includes a 2,000-hour
internship in school psychology.
The School Psychology Program also offers a BCBA Specialization track. This specialized track is not mutually exclusive and it is intended to offer specialist
and doctoral students additional training, elective courses, and other specialized
practica and internship experiences enabling them to acquire specific skills in applied
behavior analsyis. Specialization in the BCBA track does not replace other requirements
for the specialist and doctoral degrees and should not significantly increase a student's
overall hours in the program.
