Matriculation requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Degree requirements (33 credits)
Applicants are admitted to this program only in the fall; see application deadlines posted on the program website.
Matriculation requirements
Applicants must present an M.S. in Education degree for school psychologist (or the appropriate equivalent) as well as meet the requirements under the M.S. in Education degree for school psychologist. The matriculation process for the bilingual school psychologist specialization will include demonstrated competence in the target language.
Advanced certificate requirements
Thirty-three credits (beyond the master's degree) are required for the advanced certificate with a specialization in bilingual school psychology.
Students must complete 27 credits from the following courses: SPCL 7902X, 7904T, 7905X, 7931T, 7932T, 7923X, 7907X, 7933X, 7934X, 7912X, 7913X, 7920X; and 7921X, plus the bilingual specialization courses SPCL 7823T and 7914X. Students who have not completed the school psychologist M.S. degree at Brooklyn College must also complete SPCL 7922T.
Students must pass the language proficiency test administered by the NYS Education Department in a second language to be awarded NYS Bilingual Certification. Applicants can matriculate but cannot be certified as bilingual in NYS if the proficiency test is not available in their second language. In order to determine if the language proficiency test is available in applicant's second language, contact NYSTCE or go to the NYSTCE program website. During the first term, students must file a program of study approved by the program coordinator. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.00 (B). A student who earns 6 credits below B- will not be awarded an advanced certificate.
Completion of the advanced certificate program in addition to the M.S. Ed. in school psychology fulfills requirements for provisional certification as school psychologist by the New York State Education Department. Completion of the bilingual specialization fulfills course requirements for the bilingual extension to the certificate.
