Program Overview
This program focuses on concepts, principles, techniques and models of educational psychology as they are used to facilitate teaching and learning and the creation of effective classroom environments for learners of all ages. The program includes traditional themes in educational psychology (e.g., human development, learning principles, assessment, and psychoeducational intervention). It is unique in its focus on meeting the needs of nontraditional and underachieving learners from birth through adulthood through the use of cognitive education interventions.
The masters program may be used as a stepping stone for entering a doctoral program in educational or school psychology or as an additional preparation for functioning in an educational role in schools, mental health centers, and business programs devoted to personal and professional development. The faculty members in the Department of Educational Psychology and Counseling are committed to the creation and study of environments that enhance learning potential and promote lifelong learning for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.
