Overview

Clinical Child and School Psychology at SIUE

In SIUE's School of Education, Health and Human Behavior, the clinical child and school psychology program within the Department of Psychology is comprised of two separate tracks:

  • Clinical child psychology 
  • School psychology 

The clinical child and school psychology program is one of only a handful of combined clinical child and school psychology programs in the nation. Training emphasizes evidence-based practices, prevention, the ecological/systems approach, and the consultative role of the psychologist. Students complete practica experiences each semester as they complete the program. Students in the clinical child track will be prepared to work with children, adolescents and their families in the health system and other community agencies under the supervision of licensed healthcare providers. Our students are also well prepared to pursue doctoral education at other universities following completion of a master's degree. 

This degree leads to partial fulfillment of the education requirement to become a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois.

The school psychology track provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary for further education and training in the specialist degree program in school psychology. Students pursuing certification in school psychology are admitted to the master's program with the expectation that they will go on to complete the specialist degree program in school psychology at SIUE. 

Students in the school psychology track who complete the specialist in school psychology program are eligible for certification as school psychologists in Illinois. The specialist degree program has been fully accredited by the National Association of School Psychologists since 1999.

Degrees Available at SIUE

  • Master of Science in Clinical Child and School Psychology
  • Specialist in School Psychology

Program Format

The program coursework is offered as traditional daytime courses.

Career Opportunities

The job prospects for students who enroll in and complete the requirements for the specialist degree program in school psychology are excellent due to a nationwide shortage of school psychologists. Students in the clinical child track have a strong track record of getting accepted into doctoral programs. Those who decide to conclude their education at the master’s level find employment in a variety of clinical and community agencies.
