Bachelor Degree School Psychology from Canisius College
The Canisius College school psychology minor is helpful to any student who is interested in education, testing, psychology, special education, or working with children. School psychologists, school counselors, and school social workers work together with parents, teachers, and administrators to ensure that a student’s personal, social, academic, and career development is maximized.
The minor has been an important part of the psychology curriculum for more than 25 years. A generation of students has gone on to careers in the schools as psychologists, counselors, and social workers. Many of them returned to Western New York after graduate school. There are several Canisius graduates now working as school psychologists in the area and even more as counselors and social workers. Ten members of the class of 2006 were accepted into school psychology programs as far away as Florida.
