Offerings in Educational Psychology emphasize training and research in general guidance and counselling activities. The Education Psychology area (which is most heavily involved in programs for guidance and counselling) represents a broad spectrum of interests.

Two new practicum routes; 1) Educational Psychology; 2) Counselling are desigend to meet the needs of two predominant streams of interest. The first stream is designed to meet the needs of students who may wish to become Educational Psychologist and possibly register with the Saskatchewan College of Pscyhologists. The second stream is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to become counsellors.

The practicum route option is accessible to students admitted to the MEd EPSY practicum routes, Thesis or a PhD program within EPSY. The EPSY program does not entertain practicum requests from non-degree seeking students or from outside EPSY paths mentioned.
