A major strength of the department lies in its faculty. The department has been extremely fortunate in attracting the expertise and teaching of exceptional scholars and professionals. The School Psychology Program & the Counselor Training Programs are housed in the Department of Counseling and School Psychology. The Department consists of twelve full-time faculty.

All faculty members have substantive experience as practicing psychologists. Full-time faculty members have published articles on topics related to psychology and regularly present papers at state and national conferences, professional workshops, and symposia.
