We understand how difficult it can be to recruit a School Psychologist for your school or district. That is why the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse designed an online School Psychology degree program to help you ‘grow your own’, from a licensed educator already working in your school or district. Current Wisconsin educators with at least one year of K–12 experience have the opportunity to retrain and earn a degree in School Psychology. Leveraging their classroom teaching experience, participants gain a valuable foundation for consulting with teachers and understanding the practical challenges within a classroom setting.
