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 need an advanced degree and certification or licensure to work. The advanced degree is most commonly the education specialist degree (Ed.S.), which typically requires a minimum of 60 graduate semester credit hours and a 1,200-hour supervised internship.
