Special Notes
Students must complete course content necessary to meet the NASP Standards. USF accepts some graduate credit from another institution to apply toward a degree from USF. Course content can be waived for courses taken at another institution if the content is comparable to that at USF.
1. The 2010 NASP Standards for Graduate Preparation of School Psychologists defines a school setting as “…one in which the primary goal is the education of students of diverse backgrounds, characteristics, abilities, disabilities, and needs. Generally, a school setting includes students who are enrolled in Grades pre-K–12 and has both general education and special education services. The school setting has available an internal or external pupil services unit that includes at least one state-credentialed school psychologist and provides a full range of school psychology services.”
