Overview

The juxtaposition of Psychology with Special Education, while uncommon, we find a sensible alignment of programs. Likewise, although ours is not an educational psychology program per se, the PhD has its emphasis in educational psychology--specifically the area of cognition & instruction. The masters in psychology allows formal emphasis in school psychology, applied (clinical) psychology, and educational psychology, although other "tracks" are possible. A variety of options for a masters in special education are also available. Undergraduate courses for both majors and minors are offered in psychology and special education.

The purposes of the Department of Psychology and Special Education are to provide instruction in the subject areas of psychology and special education, add to the knowledge base of those disciplines through scholarship, and to provide service to the community in our areas of professional expertise.
