What career opportunities exist for School Psychology Program graduates?
In 2007, U.S. News and World Report included school psychology on its list of “Top 25” careers. The majority of school psychologists work in public elementary and secondary schools. School psychologists, however, also work in mental health centers, private clinics, hospitals, state agencies, and universities. Some school psychologists also go into private practice on a part- or full-time basis and serve as consultants. A number of recent PhD graduates of the School Psychology Program taken academic positions at universities, including Florida State University, University of Chicago, University of Central Florida, and Mississippi State University, among others.
