1 THE UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD Department of Psychology SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAM GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT PROFILE Hartford Curriculum Meets Contemporary Employment Market SUMMER 2013 What does a local school system look for in a school psychologist? A careful consideration to this question has guided the development of the School Psychology Program at The University of Hartford. Offering an integrated, three year, 69 credit program of study, graduates receive the M.S. Degree in School Psychology with a Specialization in Child Clinical Counseling as well as a Sixth-Year Certificate in School Psychology. More specifically the program offers a contemporary approach to the development of performance-based skills intended to prepare graduates for solid careers in the public schools. Within the three-year program students complete a year-long half-time practicum in the second year, followed by a full-time, year-long, internship in the third year. These applied components complement coursework and include weekly clinical supervision designed to explore contemporary professional issues. A nationally approved [NASP/NCATE] planned program of study, successful graduates receive programmatic support leading to an endorsement for State Department of Education credentialing as a and national credentialing as a Nationally [N.C.S.P.]. In addition, students completing the appropriate supplemental courses as part of their specialization in Child Clinical Counseling, followed by the requisite post-degree supervision, may also pursue State Department of Health Services credentialing as a Licensed Professional Counselor and national credentialing as a Nationally Certified Counselor [N.C.C.]. How do graduates fare in the job market? One important marker of success of any graduate program involves the employment of the graduates. A practitioner oriented program, The University of Hartford takes pride in the employment of its alumni. Graduates are working in a range of schools, and the program continues to attract both recent graduates as well as seasoned practitioners who often already hold a graduate degree. Many come to the University because of the small, supportive, classroom settings. Others come because of the curricular focus and strong practicum and internship supervisory components. Whatever the decision, the results have been positive with greater than 98% of recent graduates receiving offers within 3 months of graduation. The profiles which follow - while not all-inclusive as not all graduates have provided employment data - describes the reported employment of graduates following certification. This directory is intended to help provide readers with one marker of success. While individual choices, and salaries, vary widely among alumni, this listing suggests one strong indication of the quality and viability of the program. We hope you will join us in commending our graduates.
