The Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Educational Psychology may be taken with concentrations in the areas of: Learning Sciences; Educational Technology (M.A. only); Giftedness, Creativity, and Talent Development; Research Methods, Measurement, and Evaluation; Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology; School Psychology; and Special Education. The Ph.D. in Educational Psychology does not have a related area or foreign language requirement. (The Neag School of Education also confers Sixth-Year Diplomas in Educational Psychology as described elsewhere in the catalog).
Learning Sciences M.A. and Ph.D.
The Learning Sciences (LS) program approaches learning and instruction from an applied view of the Learning Sciences and aims to prepare scholars and practitioners who are well versed in different perspectives on teaching and learning and capable of critically evaluating the effectiveness of instructional technologies and techniques across different populations and contexts (including virtual, traditional face-to-face, and blended). The M.A. and the Ph.D. requirements in LS conform to the Graduate School requirements. Specific programmatic requirements and course sequences for M.A. and Ph.D. students are described below.
Master of Arts. Requires a minimum of 30 credits comprised of core (see below) and elective courses. Two different options exist for students who seek the master’s degree. These options pertain to a thesis (Plan A) or non-thesis (Plan B) option, related to a student’s graduate plan of study. For Plan A, students complete a reduced plan of coursework (21 credit hours) plus nine credits of Master’s thesis research (GRAD 5950 or 5960) and defense of a research-based thesis. “Plan B,” the non-thesis option, requires a 30 credit plan of coursework, followed by a comprehensive examination. In general, the thesis option is preferred, especially if the student intends to complete doctoral degree requirements. The list below represents courses typically included in the plan of study for the LS M.A. degree. Waivers and substitutions for these courses are allowed with approval from the student’s primary advisor and advising committee.
Master of Arts Core Courses: EPSY 5510; one credit of EPSY 5515; EPSY 5520, 5530, 5601, 5602, 5605, 5607, and 5220.
Doctor of Philosophy. The Ph.D. program is structured to prepare scholars and practitioners whose primary interests involve issues of cognition, instruction, learning, and technology. Although the Learning Sciences (LS) Ph.D. program is designed to encourage full-time graduate study, several students work part-time in the community. In most cases, these part-time positions are related to the student’s graduate program and consequently may even enhance the student’s skills, professional maturity, and overall educational goals. Students are expected to complete all required courses and complement required coursework with elective coursework related to their specific research interests and professional goals. In addition to required coursework, students are required to pass a comprehensive examination and defend a dissertation proposal before their advisory committee and readers. Students must complete all other dissertation requirements as specified by the Educational Psychology Department and the Graduate School. The list below represents courses typically included in the plan of study for the LS Ph.D. degree. Waivers and substitutions for these courses are allowed with approval from the student’s primary advisor and advising committee.
Doctor of Philosophy Core Courses: EPSY 5510; two credits of EPSY 5515; EPSY 5220, 5520, 5530, 5540, 5602, 5605, 5607, 5610, 5613, 5621, 6601; a minimum of 15 credits of GRAD 6950.
Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology M.A. and Ph.D.
The Counseling Program offers two graduate-level degrees: a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Educational Psychology in the area of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the area of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology. (In addition, the Counseling Program offers a Sixth-Year Diploma). The M.A. prepares students to be fully-certified School Counselors in the State of Connecticut and are accredited by the State of Connecticut and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The Ph.D. program prepares students for research and teaching careers in Counselor Education or related fields. All programs in the Counseling Program emphasize educational equity and academic access and opportunity as related to eliminating cultural oppression.
Master of Arts Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Requirements. In addition to the Graduate School requirements, students in the Master of Arts (M.A.) program in Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology must complete the following requirements. Continuation in the Master’s level Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Program is based on ongoing acceptable performance in meeting all the following criteria: earn grades of “B” or better in each of the counseling courses and seminars; maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher in their counseling and related program coursework; demonstrate the ability to work successfully with K-12 students in field placement settings throughout the program. Site supervisors evaluate students by using a program designed evaluation instrument aligned with program standards. Students must receive consistently positive evaluations from site supervisors to continue in the program. The M.A. Degree in Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology requires a minimum of two full academic years, defined as four semesters of approved graduate-level study with a minimum of 51 credits. To qualify for National Certification and the Licensed Professional Counselor exam, students must complete 60 credit hours in their Master’s Degree Program of Study. Thus, courses beyond the minimum 51 credits needed to graduate in the Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology M.A. Program can be of your own choosing.

Doctor of Philosophy in School Psychology. The Ph.D. program in school psychology adheres to the scientist-practitioner model of graduate education in health service psychology. The training is designed to prepare students for the practice of health service psychology based on the scientific method, and to promote the commitment to a career of research directed toward the advancement of the science of psychology. Given this mission, the aims are to prepare psychologists who are knowledgeable and competent in: (1) research with relevance to psychology and the specialty area of school psychology, (2) the practice of health service psychology; and (3) the specialty area of school psychology. These aims facilitate preparation of health service psychologists who will practice in schools or other educationally related settings that will meet the professional employment demands for the following: psychologists in psychoeducational research; mental health research specialists in child psychology; psychologists in child treatment agencies, hospitals, and private practice; and professionals in higher education committed to preparing educators and clinicians in psychoeducational services. The program is accredited by the American Psychological Association and as such complies with the guidelines and principles for accreditation of programs in health service psychology as outlined by the American Psychological Association. Although the program is designed to be at least four academic years of full-time study, students typically take four to five years from the baccalaureate degree to complete all doctoral requirements. This involves a minimum of 110 semester hours of coursework, including 15 hours of dissertation research, and a 1500-hour internship that meets the requirements for school psychology.
Dissertation Proposal. All dissertation research must be directed by a member of the core faculty as the major advisor. Preparation and acceptance of the dissertation proposal should follow current Department and University guidelines. The student must orally present and defend the proposal to the advisory committee.
General Examination. Typically the general exam is completed near the end of their third or beginning of fourth year, and no later than within five years after beginning their doctoral study. The examination is under the jurisdiction of the student’s faculty advisory committee, with at least five faculty participating in the examination.
Required Courses: In addition to the courses required for the Master of Arts degree/Sixth-Year Diploma listed above, all Ph.D. students must also satisfactorily complete the following courses: EPSY 5318, 5455, 5607, 5610, 6194; EPSY 6494 for a total of 24 semester hours across eight semesters; EPSY 6491 for a total of six to twelve semester hours; GRAD 6950 for at least 15 credits in the plan of study; PSYC 5140; PSYC 5570 or 6750.

The pre-internship portfolio consists of work samples completed throughout the program in coursework and practica, professional documents, practicum and self-evaluations, and other relevant program-related documents.
Examinations. Students must pass the Master’s examination prior to being awarded the Master’s degree. The examination occurs near the end of the student’s first year and after the student’s plan of study has been approved by the Executive Committee of the Graduate School. The Master’s examination is constructed under the jurisdiction of the school psychology faculty and other Departmental faculty who were involved in the student’s first year of course instruction.
The Praxis Series. The Praxis Series – School Psychologist (code 5402) is administered by the Educational Testing Service. Students take the examination after admission to the Sixth-Year program; after completing approximately 42 hours of their coursework in the Master’s/Sixth-Year program; and prior to beginning their internship. The standardized examination provides an assessment of content in concert with national standards, and allows for the evaluation of our students relative to a nation-wide reference group.
Clinical Requirements for M.A. and Ph.D. Students. M.A. and Ph.D. students must complete the following clinical requirements.
Practica Requirements. The practica sequence was developed in accordance with American Psychological Association (APA) and National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) guidelines that require planned supervised experiences that include direct service and formally scheduled supervision. The field experiences are coordinated with coursework to allow students ample opportunity to combine their theoretical and practical knowledge in a supervised situation. Practicum experiences in a school or related educational setting are a required component of program completion and graduation. Students should refer to the “Program Handbook” and “Practica Syllabus” for information on practica hour requirements.
Internship Requirements. The internship in school psychology complies with APA and NASP standards. The internship is designed to enhance the development of competencies and professionalism and to be the culminating experience in the student’s program. The full description of the internship requirements is outlined in the document entitled “School Psychology Program Internship Manual.” To be eligible for internship, the student must have met all the following requirements prior to signing any contract or internship agreement with an internship site: completed all required coursework with no remaining incomplete courses; passed the Master’s Degree Qualifying Examination; completed all practica requirements; passed the Praxis-School Psychology Examination; passed the Pre-Internship Portfolio; for doctoral students, successfully defended their dissertation proposals.
Special Education M.A. and Ph.D.
