I’m interested in applying to the Ed.S. program, but I don’t have a graduate degree. What program should I apply to?

The majority of Ed.S. students enter the program following the completion of a Bachelor’s degree. Applicants with a Bachelor’s degree will first enter the M.Ed. program, since attainment of a masters degree is necessary before entering the Ed.S. program. When making an application, check the box on the School Psychology Supplemental Data Form that says “M.Ed./Ed.S. Program”and complete all of the application requirements for this plan of study.

I am not sure which program I should apply to. What are some of the differences between the specialist (Ed.S) and doctoral (Ph.D.) programs?

One of the most important things for you to consider is what you want to do when you finish the program. If you are interested in seeking licensure as a school psychologist within a school system and are committed to becoming an informed consumer of research to guide your practice, the M.Ed./Ed.S. program may be the best professional match for you. The specialist program takes approximately three years to complete, full-time, including coursework, practicum and internship.
