SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY at Fairfield University

Fairfield University’s Master of Arts (MA) degree and Sixth Year Certificate (SYC) in School Psychology develop competencies in the areas of assessment, consultation, and direct intervention. Your education also reflects the conceptual framework of the School of Education and Human Development, emphasizing respect for diversity, the scientist–practitioner tradition, reflective practice, primary prevention, developmental and systems theory, and becoming agents of change.

During your time in the program, you will evolve as a professional through classroom experiences, faculty support, and opportunities to apply your growing knowledge and skills, in school and clinical agencies. You will also learn the importance of self-care to protect against practitioner burnout and to be at your best personally and professionally.
