Director's Letter
Dear Prospective Students and Alumni,
The Graduate School of Psychology at Touro College offers a Master of Science degree leading to New York State certification as a School Psychologist. School psychologists play a variety of roles in school settings. They focus on the improvement of children's academic, social, behavioral and emotional functioning in the school context. A significant area of focus is psycho educational assessment. School psychologists also devise and carry out educational and behavioral interventions. They are responsible for administrative duties related to the special education process, provide formal and informal counseling and crisis intervention, facilitate parent and teacher meetings, and serve as consultants on behavioral and educational issues.
The graduate School of Psychology located in Midtown Manhattan and Bay Shore, Long Island. We offer late afternoon, evening, Sunday and a few online courses to accommodate the schedules of students who are presently employed. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Dominick A. Fortugno, Ph.D.

Description of the Program
The mission of the Master of Science in School Psychology Program is to develop competent school psychologists skilled in diagnosing problems and implementing successful, evidence-based solutions to support the academic, social, emotional and physical well-being of the children they serve.
The Master of Science program in School Psychology consists of 63 semester hours of required coursework in the areas of education and special education, assessment, diagnosis, intervention, report writing, counseling and consultation. As part of their training, students in the program are required to participate in fieldwork or other in vivo or simulated practicum assignments. For those students unable to take advantage of school placements, alternative College-based or simulated practicum assignments will be made available. The program may be completed in three years of full-time study or four or more years of part-time study. A 1200-hour internship is required before students are eligible to apply for New York State School Psychology certification; this credential is required for practice as a school psychologist.
