Accelerated MS Program in School Psychology
Why should you do this program?
The Accelerated MS Program in School Psychology is designed to allow high-achieving undergraduate students at FHSU to begin graduate coursework early. One benefit of this program is students are allowed to use 9 credit hours of graduate work to count both toward the graduate degree and the undergraduate degree. At this time, only FHSU undergraduates, on-campus and online, are eligible for the accelerated school psychology program.
