Our Mission
We are a community of scholars committed to the use
and application of psychological foundations and research
to understanding and solving human problems across
the lifespan and in diverse contexts including families,
communities, schools, and workplaces.
At a Glance
The Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology
and Special Education (ECPS) offers the best of two
worlds: intimate graduate programs in a large, vibrant,
and culturally rich university. ECPS faculty eschew
the traditional research-practice dichotomy focusing
on the integration of practice and research, working
closely with schools, community agencies, and policy
makers. They serve as advisors at the provincial,
national and international levels.
Students enjoy extensive interaction with professors
and have the opportunity to develop their skills and
abilities to their highest potential through programs
tailored to meet individual needs. The Department
provides opportunities for in depth collaborations
among students and between students and faculty. Our
student body is a rich, multicultural mix from across
Canada and around the world.
The Department has five program areas: Counselling
Psychology; Human Development, Learning and Culture; Measurement,
Evaluation and Research Methodology; School Psychology;
and Special Education. |
