General Information

An En-Route Master's degree is one that is earned by doctoral (Ph.D.) students at the same time that they are working on their doctoral degree. Beginning Fall 2014, all EDP doctoral students admitted without a master’s in the field must complete an en-route master’s before receiving the doctoral degree. 

EDP students may choose to earn an en-route master's in their current program area, or another. For en-route master's in the same specialization as the doctoral degree, most course requirements will already be fulfilled as part of the doctoral degree program. Some students choose an en-route master's in an area outside their area of specialization - these en-route degrees involve a varying amount of additional coursework and requirements.

S.S.P. Specialization: School Psychology

This en-route master's is intended for School Psychology doctoral students. If paired with a school-based internship, it is designed to prepare students for licensure as a Specialist in School Psychology in the state of Texas. Note that students who earn a PhD in School Psychology at UT are also eligible for LSSP licensure. This en-route MA overlaps with, but is different from, the MA in School Psychology option listed above. LSSP Requirements: Note that an internship is required to pursue licensure as an LSSP. Please view the LSSP Requirements from the Psychologists’ Licensing Act and Rules and Regulations of the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (published July 1, 2005).
