Students who are enrolled in a University of Arizona Ph.D. program other than School Psychology are eligible to select School Psychology as their minor.

Sample Courses
  • SERP 512: School and Community Violence: Crisis Prevention, Intervention, and Response
  • SERP 517: Behavior Modification (if enrolled in an applied degree program, such as Clinical Psychology or Special Education)
  • SERP 601: Cognition and Development—Summer
  • SERP 559: Diversity in School Psychology
  • SERP 685: Behavior Disorders and Adjustment

 

Admission Requirements

  • Identify a minor advisor (core school psychology faculty)
  • Obtain approval from core faculty
  • Fingerprint Clearance: SERP549 (required for a minor) and SERP517 include a field experience in a school district. Enrollment in these classes is contingent upon obtaining an AZ IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card. If you are denied an AZ Fingerprint Clearance Card, you will not be able to enroll in the program, as it is a requirement in Arizona for all adults working in schools in any capacity.
  • Written Examination Requirement will consist of one of the following (in consultation with minor advisor):
    • Written examination covering the field of school psychology and selected coursework
    • Written paper (approximately 15 pages) on a selected topic decided between the student and minor advisor; quality consistent with publication
    • Take home examination

NOTE: A minor in School Psychology does not lead to any certification or licensure to practice as a school psychologist.
