The School Psychology Program at the University of South Carolina is dedicated to enhancing the development of children, adolescents, families, and social systems. This is accomplished through training future leaders, generating new knowledge, and providing exemplary service. An emphasis is placed on schools and schooling, the integration of psychological and educational theory, research, and practice in the context of a collegial atmosphere, intense faculty/student mentoring, multiple theoretical perspectives, and commitment to life long learning. Faculty and students value preparation to work in a broad range of ecological settings serving the needs of a diverse population.
