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.”
