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.
School psychologists and school counselors both have graduate education. The demands are typically a little higher for school psychologists. Most states require school psychologists to have at least 60 semester hours of graduate work and to complete at least 1,200 internship hours (the equivalent of a full school year).
