The School Psychology Program at Lehigh University offers training at both the doctoral (Ph.D.) and educational specialist (Ed.S.) levels. Students may enter either program at the post-bachelor's or post-master's level. Students completing the doctoral program usually take 5-7 years (post-bachelor's) including internship and dissertation requirements. Completion of the Ed.S. program takes 3 years (post-bachelor's).

The Ph.D. program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA Committee on Accreditation, Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation, American Psychological Association, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-5979; Tel.: (202) 336-5979), and fully approved by the National Association of School Psychologists.

Our School Psychology Program was recently ranked 2nd among all APA-approved school psychology programs in terms of faculty research productivity (click here to read the attached article [pdf 5.96MB] from School Psychology Quarterly). When productivity is figured on a per-faculty basis, our program is ranked 1st! This remarkable record of productivity is due not only to the efforts of program faculty but is due in large part to the hard work and diligent efforts of our graduate students.
