The MSc in School and Applied Child Psychology at Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, is a scientist-practitioner program designed to prepare students for careers as researchers or clinicians in educational and psychological settings. The program integrates research, academic, and clinical training to cultivate theoretical and evidence-based skills in prevention, assessment, intervention, and research services, with an emphasis on promoting optimal outcomes for children, youth, and families. It includes 12 half-courses, 2 practicum placements (each 200 hours), and a thesis. School-based practica are a core element, and students must arrange their own transportation to practicum sites across Calgary and nearby communities. Typical completion is in 2-3 years with a maximum allowed time of 4 years. Admission is highly competitive and requires a strong psychology background.
