MA/MS in School Psychology

The Master of Arts in School Psychology provides a broad foundation in the scientific study of psychology together with specialized training in psycho-educational assessment, child psychopathology, and school-based intervention. The program is offered by the Department of Psychology at the University of Manitoba and includes supervised practicum experience alongside coursework. All students complete GRAD 7300 and GRAD 7500, the Faculty of Graduate Studies' mandatory academic-integrity courses, in addition to program-specific coursework. Two routes to completion are available: a comprehensive-examination stream requiring 54 credit hours over an expected two years, and a thesis stream requiring 63 credit hours over an expected three years. The normal requirement for admission is an Honours B.A. or B.Sc. in Psychology or its equivalent; applicants with other academic backgrounds are typically required to complete a pre-Master's year before beginning the program. The degree prepares graduates for further doctoral study or professional practice supporting children's learning and mental health in educational settings.
