Our mission in educational psychology is to help students in teacher preparation to understand and use the principles of educational psychology in pedagogy; assist at-risk college students in reaching their educational goals; prepare counseling and psychological professionals who can apply best practice in assessment, intervention, follow-up, and evaluation when working with individuals, groups, and organizations; and provide a curriculum based on a developmental, experiential training model that includes understanding theory and building assessment and intervention skills in a supervised clinical setting.
