Niagara University’s master’s degree program in school psychology is founded on a commitment to developing practitioners and leaders in the field of school psychology who, in the Vincentian tradition, seek to individually and systematically foster human growth and development, spirituality, well-being, and emotional stability within culturally diverse contexts.

Students are mentored by highly credentialed faculty in small class sizes that facilitate individualized attention and often lead to research and conference participation.

Graduates demonstrate qualities of outstanding reflective practitioners, such as the dispositions of caring and respect, open-mindedness, and a commitment to equity and social justice.
