Career Opportunities

Traditionally, career opportunities for EKU graduates in school psychology have been varied and numerous. About 80% of the school psychology program graduates take positions in public school settings providing assessment, counseling, consultation, and other services. School psychologists have also taken positions at state schools for the deaf, community mental health centers, clinics, colleges, and other settings.

Students in the graduate programs may also prepare themselves for further graduate work in psychology. Some of our past graduates have pursued doctoral degrees. Students are encouraged to become involved with faculty in their various research projects and receive credit for research experiences through enrolling for master's thesis credits.
