Prerequisite: Master of Arts in Education: Educational Counseling with Embedded Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Counseling

A required transcript evaluation of students’ courses will determine which courses will count toward the PPS: School Psychology Credential.

Requirements are the same as for Azusa Pacific University’s Educational Specialist in School Psychology with Embedded Master of Arts in Education: Educational Psychology and Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Psychology program, with the exception that no graduate research project is required. 

Students must pass the PRAXIS II School Psychology #5403 Exam with a score of 155 or greater. Credential-only candidates may be eligible to become a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP); candidates are advised to contact the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) certification board to determine if their degrees meet NCSP requirements.

A student has a maximum of five years to complete all coursework and assessments, beginning the first date of enrollment for coursework in the credential program.
