Organizations
If you’re a graduate student in educational
psychology, you are expected by the faculty and by ethical standards of the
profession to participate in at least one professional organization related to your area of specialization.
Student membership to these organizations
offer several advantages such as:
- reduced membership fees
- professional liability insurance coverage
- journal subscriptions
- reduced conference fees
- enhanced career development
The primary suggested affiliation will
vary by your program.
It is strongly recommended that you join as a
student affiliate the national organization in your specialization area and
possibly one or more related organizations either in your field of interest
and/or your state organization affiliated with your national organization.
