One of the best routes to a career as a school psychologist is a Psychology Doctorate (Psy.D) degree with a specialty in school psychology. Students enrolled in these programs will perform clinical research in specific areas of specialization, based on their specific preferences in this field.
Psychologists have a doctoral degree in an area of psychology, the study of the mind and human behavior. Theyâre not medical doctors. A psychologist can have a PhD in philosophy or a PsyD in clinical or counseling psychology. Typically, they do 1-2 years of internship. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists are also trained in giving psychological tests (like IQ tests or personality tests).
