www.pace.edu/dyson/psych-nyc credit is based on comparability of courses, and each course is evaluated individually by faculty members. Students should submit applications for transfer credits for first year courses by June 15 of the year preceding entry into the program. For courses beyond the first year, students should submit their application by October 31 of the year the student enters the graduate program. Students from New York State approved school psychology programs receive 45 transfer credits toward the PsyD and are required to pass the Comprehensive Examination and complete all fourth and fih year courses, plus any master's-level courses they are lacking, at Pace University. Typically, no transfer credit is granted for third- or fourth- year courses and also PSY 713, PSY 715, and PSY 720. Usually, courses taken over five years prior to student program admission are not granted transfer credit. Transcript evaluation occurs aer program admission and matriculation. Advanced Standing Advanced Standing students—those who have satisfactorily completed the course work and internship requirements of a school psychology program and are eligible for New York State School Psychology Certification—are given 45 graduate transfer credits toward the 111-credit graduate doctoral program. Students with advanced standing in the PsyD program must complete PSY 713, PSY 715, PSY 720, the Comprehensive Examination, and 18 additional graduate credits at Pace University prior to beginning the fourth- year field experiences (PSY 821 and PSY 822) and related seminars. Advanced Standing students are required to take and pass all sections of the Comprehensive Examination and complete the program within six years. Students entering the PsyD program with Advanced Standing may also obtain the experiences needed to apply for the New York State Bilingual School Psychology Certificate. Typically, for the Advanced Standing student, this requires enrolling in PSY 750B and PSY 751B, in addition to fulfilling the other Bilingual School Psychology Specialization requirements (e.g., PSY 741: Communication and Language and the Bilingual Child in the Classroom (1 credit); PSY 745: Bilingual Language Development and Disorders (3 credits); PSY 703A Practicum: Limiting Bias (1 credit); PSY 709A Practicum: Counseling the Culturally Different (1 credit). Full-time or part-time study Students may undertake the program on a full or part-time basis, but the program must be completed within 10 years. Class hours permit fieldwork and generally allow for limited part-time employment in the first four years of study. When possible, paid internships are arranged to help alleviate the financial expense. e program requires 111 credit hours of study, a qualifying examination aer the first year, a comprehensive examination, typically during the third or fourth year, a final internship (over one or two years), and a doctoral project.
