Educational Psychology offers specializations in Counselling Psychology (CNPY) and School and Applied Child Psychology (SACP) at master's and doctoral levels. We offer both thesis-based degrees (MSc) and course-based degrees (MEd and MC) at the master's level. Both degree streams prepare students for roles as psychologists and counsellors though further steps (and possibly, courses) will be required to meet professional registration requirements.

Note: The Doctoral Program in Educational Psychology with specialization in Counselling Psychology has been granted accreditation by the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) since 2011.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
