M.S.Ed. in Child Psychology

Duquesne University

Our M.S.Ed. in Child Psychology graduate program will prepare you to pursue a rewarding career as an educational advocate for children. This 30-credit program includes curriculum to enhance paraprofessional mental health services provided to children in community and school settings. While our Child Psychology master's degree does not lead to the professional practice of school psychology, other options to advance your career are available to you through this program. Students in the Child Psychology program who hold certain certificates through the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) can meet Autism Endorsement criteria through the selection of electives.
Students of our Child Psychology program can also meet the Pennsylvania Behavior Specialist License criteria and can take the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Verified Course Sequence.
