Proposal #12, School Psychology, effective Fall 2002

SPY 800, Thesis Proposal Seminar, 1 credit, new course

“This thesis proposal course is required of all school psychology graduate students beginning the spring of the student’s first year of graduate school. This course will continue over three semesters with students enrolling for the course for one credit for each of those semesters. Students must have their thesis proposal completed for this course and approved by the School Psychology Program before beginning their internship. Repeatable for credit. Max 3; Pass/fail grading. “

Committee asked numerous questions for clarification about how this course would actually be implemented and how grades would be determined. It is possible, but not likely that a student would get the proposal completed in one semester, and not have to enroll in subsequent semesters. The dept. is going to rewrite the description.

School Psychology Program revision

Add a requirement that the thesis proposal must be completed and approved by the School Psychology Program before beginning their internship.

The dept. will rewrite the revision and put it in the appropriate place within the program description and requirements.

PSY 776, Psychological Consultation in the Schools, revise prerequisite. Add “Admission to school psychology program or special education program.”

SPY 752, Assessment and Remediation: Learning and Behavior Problems, change title and prefix (from PSY to SPY)

SPY 775, Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention, change prefix from PSY to SPY

PSY 753, SPY 761, delete

This was a first reading. There will be a second reading.
