Educational Psychology

Educational Psychology expands, transmits and integrates theory, research and practice regarding learning, cognition, and human development as these processes apply to educational processes and practices. 

Students who pursue Educational Psychology typically have one of several professional goals which may include:

  • College/University professors of Educational Psychology or Special Education;
  • Trainers in corporate, government or medical settings;
  • Educational specialists in positions requiring skills in research design, applied statistics, and testing/measurement;
  • Teachers (at the elementary and secondary level) with a strong theoretical/research base in Psychology and the behavioral sciences;
  • Program evaluators.
