Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only

Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.

The advanced certificate in school psychology is awarded to students who have met all the requirements of the MS degree and have completed and defended a thesis or research project. (The master of science degree is awarded after students have completed all course work, an internship, and have passed a portfolio review.) Please refer to the program description for the MS degree in school psychology for information on course work and admission requirements.
