Enhance the Mental Health of Our Youth.

Findlay’s online Doctor of Education in School Psychology is one of the only online School Psychology programs in the Midwest. This ​program will prepare you to enhance the learning and mental health of all children and youth​. There is currently a nationwide shortage of school psychologists and you can help fill a much-needed role in a child’s life.

“There is a significant national shortage for school psychologists,” explained Dr. Julie McIntosh, dean of the College of Education at Findlay. “The mental health of our youth is a top priority for schools but there aren’t enough individuals who have the training needed to be a school psychologist. Our new program will help fill that need, especially for the schools in our region.”
