Chili, N.Y. —

The National Association of School Psychologists, the governing body that provides standards and oversight for university-level degree programs in school psychology, has granted "Full National Recognition" to Roberts Wesleyan College's graduate program in school psychology.

This certification status, in place through Dec. 31, 2015, is awarded in recognition of the quality, relevance and comprehensiveness of the program in equipping students for the rigors of a career in the field of school psychology, according to NASP. Students who graduate from the program are eligible for the National Certificate in School Psychology — a professional distinction.

"We're very pleased to receive this determination from NASP's Program Approval Board," said Dr. Cheryl Repass, the College's director of graduate psychology programs. "It confirms the quality of our graduate program in school psychology, and of the student candidates who complete it."

Repass added that NASP's action also establishes the value of the program's emphasis on clinical and therapeutic intervention. "NASP rated us strong in the clinical and therapeutic areas," she noted.

An official list of NASP-approved programs is published and posted online by the Association.
Roberts Wesleyan anticipates a larger number of Masters candidate applications as a result of the award and the added recognition it brings to the College.
