Alumni Testimonial

Just three years after completion of my degree, I was named the National School Psychologist of the Year in 2009, a testament to the high-quality training and flexibility of the instruction offered at IUP.
Dr. Steven G. Fiefer, D.Ed., NCSP

This is the ideal program for the practicing school psychologist who wish to get their doctorate without leaving their position in their schools; you only go during the summer.
— Dr. John Garruto, D.Ed., NCSP

I tell every school psychologist who is interested in a doctoral program that the best one in the nation is offered at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
— Dr. Dennis Zimmerman, D.Ed., NCSP

I entered the program hoping for professional renewal and a future opportunity to teach in a graduate program. I have been fortunate to achieve both of those objectives. After each summer in Indiana, I went back to my schools with new ideas and renewed enthusiasm.
— Dr. Leigh Armistead, D.Ed., NCSP
