The Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) program in School Psychology trains individuals to become school-based practitioners. It is not required that these students acquire skills to conduct significant research investigations. Individuals completing the program attain competencies making them eligible for careers in public or private school settings. The Ed.S. program results in both the degree and certification as a school psychologist in Pennsylvania, as well as eligibility for the NCSP credential awarded by NASP.
