Program Standards and Professional Conduct

The M.Ed. degree in School Psychology is a professional graduate training program wherein students come into contact with vulnerable client populations. Accordingly, in addition to monitoring students’ coursework performance in terms of academic grades, program faculty also review students’ professional deportment throughout the duration of the program. This review is guided by the ethical principles and professional standards of both the American Psychological Association (APA) and the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP).

Professional functioning is evaluated across multiple domains that reflect these ethical frameworks. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Personal and interpersonal functioning
  • Commitment to the profession
  • Ethics and integrity
  • Sensitivity to client issues
  • Use of supervision

Some students may not be able to continue in or complete the program should the program faculty determine that, despite acceptable grades, they cannot consistently align with the non-academic professional expectations of the program.
