Baylor School Psychology Dallas EdS Curriculum

Course Delivery: Traditional Model of Instruction

The Waco School Psychology Program follows a traditional in-person model of instruction where most courses are taught in a face-to-face format. The exception is the internship course sequence (fall and spring semester of your third year) that are typically taught online because most, but not all, students complete their internship outside Waco and some students complete their internship in states other than Texas.

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
