The School Psychology program has adopted training objectives that are consistent with NASP's official policy regarding the delivery of comprehensive school psychology services (officially called the Model for Comprehensive and Integrated School Psychological Services, yet better known as the “NASP Practice Model”). It was first developed in 1978 and has been revised six times, most recently in 2020. Currently, there are 10 domains of practice in the NASP 2020 practice model. The goal is to prepare students for a career in school psychology using state-of-the-art research and critical training experiences to achieve entry-level competence.
