Psychology Programs
The graduate programs in School Psychology and Doctor of Psychology are approved by the New York State Board of Regents.
The graduate program in School Psychology is accredited by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), and leads to certification in New York state, with eligibility in many other states, and National certification through NASP. More information on NYS certification in School Psychology can be found through the NYS Office of Teaching Initiatives (OTI) website.
The Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree in Clinical/School Psychology, which leads to eligibility for licensure in New York, is accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). We are also currently a Doctoral Program Associate (DPA) member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral & Internship Centers (AAPIC).
Roberts Wesleyan University has made program-specific determinations regarding whether its Psychology programs meet the educational requirements for licensure in U.S. states and territories where it enrolls or recruits students. These determinations are available in the Professional Licensure Disclosure - Department of Psychology, linked above. Students residing in states where a program does not meet licensure requirements will receive an individualized disclosure and must complete a Student Attestation prior to enrollment.
Medical Technology Program
Students who complete our B.S. in Medical Technology are eligible to take the board of registry exam given by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Passage of the exam results in national board certification. Students are also eligible for licensure through the New York State (N.Y.S.) Education Department Office of the Professions.
Occupational Therapy Program
The entry-level occupational therapy doctoral degree program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 510E, Bethesda, MD 20814. ACOTE’s telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652- AOTA, and its web address is www.acoteonline.org. Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, all states require licensure to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure.
