SPYA 697 School Psychology Dissertation II

(Formerly PS 8516). The School Psychology Dissertation is the final step in the completion of requirements for the Doctor of Psychology in School Psychology degree program. It is an extended written treatment of a topic, chosen by the student in consultation with the doctoral faculty, which is relevant to school psychology and which espouses and defends a proposition developed by the student in the course of his/her research. As an important step in the student’s continuing educational process, the School Psychology Dissertation embodies the spirit of thoughtful, systematic inquiry that is the essence of scholarly activity in school psychology at the doctoral level. As such, it should reflect (a) mastery of the theoretical, clinical, and empirical literature in an area relevant to professional school psychology; (b) the ability to frame and appropriately address a problem in a scholarly/scientific fashion; and (c) the ability to communicate with the professional community clearly and directly in the writing style adopted by the profession.
