School Psychology Program Overview
The mission of the University of Florida’s School Psychology Program (SPP) is to prepare school psychology practitioners and scholars whose activities promote the psychological and educational development and well-being of children and youth.
The program is grounded in a scientist-practitioner model as reflected in its commitment to a synthesis between science and practice throughout all academic and professional preparation opportunities. This is an on-campus program, with a small student-to-faculty ratio, situated in a resource-rich university.
Due to COVID-19, the School Psychology Program has waived the GRE for EdS admission for the Fall 2021 semester. All PhD applications must include submission of GRE scores, however, which will be considered within a holistic admission review process.
Student Testimonials
My experiences in the School Psychology Program at UF really prepared me for my next steps as an intern, and I leave work every day with a smile on my face because I know that this is the right field for me.
Being a part of the Gator Nation is truly an honor, and you really do feel like you are a part of a family. Our program strives to keep student connections strong; nowhere else that I interviewed did I get that sense of a unified family atmosphere.
When deciding which program to attend, I recall being especially impressed by the number of publications and conference presentations that UF’s students completed annually. This let me know that research activities were a priority and highly supported. I was also attracted to the possibility of receiving clinical training in diverse settings. UF has proven to be a perfect fit for me.
