Six (6) hours are required in education. Courses in the areas of school law, curriculum, school administration, and remedial methods are recommended.

At least one course in curriculum development is required for all students. Consult your advisor and certification requirements in states in which you wish to gain certification for specific courses.

Relevant courses are listed in Appendix D in the School Program Handbook. Students should consult the course schedule for the availability of courses each semester. 

Clinical Practicum Option
It is strongly recommended that students have at least one 3-hour clinical practicum experience. Courses that qualify for this option consist of (a) applied work in areas such as child and family therapy, psychotherapy, health psychology, or neuropsychology with (b) regular supervision by a psychology faculty member.  The purpose is to provide students with applied, supervised experience in a specialized area. The faculty supervisor must be qualified in the particular area of assessment/intervention.  Examples of practicum courses include:
            PSYC 841C    Adv Practicum in Psychological Assessment/Intervention
            PSYC 782       Child and Family Therapy Practicum
            PSYC 784       Clinical Health Psychology Practicum
            PSYC 830       Advanced Practicum in Child and Family Therapy

Quantitative Psychology Electives
Statistical course requirements are minimal. It is strongly recommended that students take one or more advanced quantitative courses (e.g., HLM, SEM, multivariate) beyond program requirement to further their research skills within their chosen specialty area.
