School Psychologist Graduate Program Opportunity

Want to become a School Psychologist?

National Louis University is looking for potential applicants to our National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) accredited graduate program.  Unfortunately, too many undergraduates know very little about careers in School Psychology, a field that supports the use of evidence-based practices to create safe and civil school environments and promotes positive academic and mental health development. With an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree, a 66-semester hour post master’s degree, all of our graduates for the past 5 years have found meaningful employment in schools, despite the weak economy. Our program is located conveniently in Skokie, Illinois. It includes a school-based practicum component every term with an increasing time commitment, and is one of three nationally certified school psychology programs in the greater Chicago area.
