The School of Social Work prepares practitioners to work with oppressed groups, to alleviate injustice, discrimination and poverty; to create social policies and resources that meet basic human needs and enhance the quality of life; and to create accessible, responsible, accountable human service programs. The School Psychology program, combining an MA degree in counseling and a C.A.G.S. in school psychology, prepares you to provide a range of psychological and educational services to support the emotional health of children and families in the school community. RIC’s unique partnerships with outstanding field-based supervisors provide high-quality training experiences for students in these programs. Additionally, small classes enable students to develop meaningful relationships with peers and with faculty.
