Departmental
Welcome
Greetings from the Department
of Educational Administration, Counseling, and Psychology at Tarleton
State University. My name is Bob Newby, and as Department Head, I am
pleased to welcome you to our website.
The purpose of this site
is to allow you to investigate our department so as to learn about our
faculty, our students, and our staff. Some of you may be interested
in the graduate and undergraduate
programs offered by our department, while others may be interested in
the research activities of our faculty.
The department is a community
of scholars with expertise ranging from school law and supervision to
school counseling and marriage and family therapy to paranormal belief
and the knowledge of beginning readers. The department has grown from
12 faculty in 1996 to 25 faculty currently.
The Psychology major is one
of the largest at Tarleton State University with an enrollment of 190-200
undergraduate majors.
We offer six Masters degree
programs including Educational Administration, Counseling, Counseling
Psychology with emphases on the Licensed Professional Counselor and
Marriage and Family Therapy, and Education Psychology with emphases
on the Licensed Psychological Associate and School Psychology. We additionally
offer programs leading to Principal Certification, Superintendent Certification,
and School Counseling Certification.
Tarleton State University
recently received approval to offer a doctoral degree in Educational
Leadership. This degree is the first doctoral degree to be awarded by
the University. We currently have a cohort group of fifteen students
who have begun their coursework leading to the degree. More information
about this program can be found on the Graduate
page in the Academics
section on our departmental website.
The department also offers
two alternative degree and certification programs for Principals. These
are the New Century Educational
Leadership Program (NCELP) and the Collaboration
of Educational Organizations Programs (CEO). The latter program
is in collaboration with the Region XI Educational Service Center.
Sincerely,
Bob Newby
Professor and Department Head
