Graduate Assistantships
All full-time students are eligible for graduate assistantships! Assistantships reduce tuition by 50% in return for 7.5 hours of work per week assigned by the Division. Additional funding, further reducing tuition, is often available on a competitive basis.

The Psy.D. program in school psychology at Alfred University follows a practitioner-scientist model. It is designed to prepare psychologists to practice advanced skills in schools and other child and family settings, and to prepare graduates for positions in applied research, administration and supervision, mental health agencies, hospitals, higher education, and private practice.
 
The program leads to eligibility for licensing as a psychologist as well as certification as a school psychologist at the state and national level.
 
The program involves a minimum of three years of full time coursework and practica, at least one full-year, full time doctoral internship, and the completion of a doctoral dissertation.

For the doctoral program, we accept applicants with their bachelor's degree, master's in other areas of psychology, and advanced-standing students who have a master's degree in School Psychology. Applicants who have a master's in School Psychology from programs other than Alfred University should contact Dr. Jana Atlas to discuss admission to the program.
 
All requirements for the Psy.D. degree must be completed within seven years of matriculation into the program.
