The College of Education’s doctoral program in school psychology is ranked among the best in the nation in research productivity and scholarly impact, according to a study published in the Journal of School Psychology.
UGA’s school psychology program was ranked eighth in the nation in authorship credit, 10th in the number of journal article publications and 10th in the number of journal citations in major school psychology journals from 2005-09, according to the study.
