UNDERGRADUATE
The department provides undergraduate students with courses in Counselor Education, Educational Media, and Educational Psychology, but it does not offer an undergraduate degree program. The educational psychology courses offer basic psychological concepts that undergird the educational process. In addition, the department seeks to provide experiences that will assist the undergraduate student to acquire analytic tools and observational skills necessary to deal with educational concerns. The courses are designed to broaden and strengthen the student's preparation for dealing with professional educational functions.

GRADUATE
The Department of Behavioral Studies and Educational Technology offers the Master of Education degree in Educational Media, School Counseling, and School Psychometry, the Master of Science degree in Community Counseling, Rehabilitation Counseling, and in Instructional Design and Development, the Educational Specialist degree in Counselor Education and Educational Media, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Instructional Design and Development.

For certification as a school counselor or school psychometrist by the State Department of Education, one must complete a basic program in a teaching field. Eligibility for certification requires two years of appropriate professional experience, at least one of which must be in teaching. The initial certificate is good for eight years. Library Media certification requires one year classroom teaching experience.
