The Department of Psychology and Research in Education

The Department of Psychology and Research in Education (PRE) offers graduate training in three programs.

• Counseling Psychology
• Educational Psychology and Research
• School Psychology

Course work for degrees consists of didactic, one-on-one, and field experiences with professors and supervisors providing the student with the skills necessary for positions in a variety of settings. Depending on the degree, the graduate is qualified to function as a professor in a university; a counselor or psychologist in such settings as schools, colleges, community service, state and federal agencies, or private practice; or an expert in research methodology and educational psychology in private or public agencies. 

The department has 15 full-time and four half-time faculty members who encourage collaborative work with students on research projects, national conference presentations, and published journal articles.  The Faculty Fact Sheet provides a brief overview of each faculty member's research interests and areas of expertise.
