School Psychology

For Fall 2024 admissions, the TC School Psychology programs have retained use of the GRE scores. Faculty use the scores, along with undergraduate GPA, letters of recommendation, the personal statement, and other materials to perform a holistic review of each applicant. There is no minimum GRE cutoff score for either the EdM or PhD program in School Psychology.

Our National Association of School Psychologists (NASP)-accredited Master of Education (Ed.M.) program stresses a firm grounding in the core areas of psychology, as well as in the tools traditionally used by school psychologists to apply their knowledge and skills to school settings.

Completion of the 69-credit Ed.M can lead to certification as a school psychologist in New York State. Our students are also eligible for certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in addition to the Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA). For the BCBA, students need to enroll in 7 additional courses, but may use practicums throughout the semester and/or summer to start accruing hours. For more information, contact Dr. Jessica Dudek, js408@tc.columbia.edu; 914-552-0177. 

Students interested may also add a New York – Bilingual Extension to their degree while enrolled at Teachers College by passing the NYS proficiency exam in a language other than English, taking one additional course, and completing their internship under the supervision of a certified school psychologist who has the bilingual extension.
