Baylor School Psychology Dallas EdS Curriculum

Course Delivery: Hybrid Model of Instruction

The Dallas School Psychology Program employs a hybrid model of instruction, combining in-person, online (both synchronous and asynchronous), and staggered hybrid courses. In-person classes are at the Dallas campus in the Louise Herrington School of Nursing Academic Building.

Practicum and internship placements occur in school settings, with practicum (part-time along with coursework) during the second year, and full-time paid internships in the third year (no coursework), offered in both fall and spring semesters.

Curriculum Highlights:

The School Psychology EdS program equips students with essential skills for a successful career in the field. Our comprehensive curriculum includes courses on:

• Conducting psychological and academic assessments
• Delivering therapeutic interventions
• Consulting with parents and teachers
• Providing culturally responsive services
