Our master’s degree in Bilingual School Psychology will prepare you to make a positive impact on young lives in a variety of educational facilities.

With this MSEd, you’ll use your bilingual skills to provide assessment and diagnostic services, design and implement school research and evaluation projects, develop counseling and remedial interventions for both individual students and groups of students, and offer assistance to teachers and other educational professionals. Bilingual School Psychology students receive course work and field work training from faculty in the theory and practice of bilingual/multicultural education, methods of providing services in a child’s native language, and bilingual language development and disorders.

This M.S. Ed. program offers qualified bilingual students enrollees in the M.S. Ed. program in School Psychology the opportunity to complete additional course work and practicum experiences required to be eligible for the Bilingual Education Extension (PPS/ADMIN) to the New York State teaching certificate in School Psychology.

Students who elect to complete the Bilingual Specialization receive training that enables them to provide school psychological services to children in both monolingual and bilingual settings. Additional course work focuses more intensively on the theory and practice of bilingual/multicultural education and methods of providing psychological services in the target language. Students receive integrated training from psychology and speech and language faculty in the area of bilingual language development and disorders. Students entering the PsyD program with advanced standing may also obtain the experiences needed to apply for the New York State Bilingual School Psychology certificate. Typically this requires enrolling in PSY 750B and PSY 751B in addition to fulfilling the other Bilingual School Psychology Specialization requirements.
