    Psychometry, Master of Science (MS)


    Program Description
    This distance-learning program is designed for individuals who wish to achieve a position as a
    psychometrist; working in either a school or clinical setting. Under the direction of a licensed
    psychologist or certified school psychologist, a psychometrist is responsible for the
    administration and scoring of psychological, social/behavioral/personality, and
    neuropsychological measures and may aid in collection of background and
    social/developmental history information and test interpretation. This program is designed to
    provide the necessary coursework, training, and supervision to administer and score
    psychometric measures. The program includes online coursework with synchronous training
    requirements.

    Admission Requirements/Preparation
    The application deadline is March 1st for a summer start. All application materials must be
    received by the deadline for consideration of an interview for admission to the program. All
    interviews will be conducted via video conferencing. Applicants must use a web-camera and a
    headset with a microphone to complete the interview. Candidates are required to apply for
    the Pre-Residency Clearance in Washington State through the Eastern Washington University
    (EWU) Certification Office during the first quarter of the program, which includes
    fingerprinting and background checks.

    To be considered for the program, students must:

    1. have a bachelor’s degree, in psychology, special education, education, speech


    pathology, or related fields, with the applicant’s transcript showing evidence of courses
    in research methods, inferential statistics, tests and measurements, and abnormal
    psychology (evidence of biopsychology is strongly recommended);
    2. have a GPA ≥3.0 in the last 90 quarter or 60 semester-graded credits;
    3. meet the requirements of the Graduate School;
    4. submit the program-specific application to GradCAS;

    We adhere to a scientist-practitioner model that prepares students for practice as a


    psychometrist. The psychometrist is skilled in the administration and scoring of objective
    neuropsychological, educational, and psychological test batteries. The psychometrist may only
    perform duties under the general supervision of licensed/certified neuropsychologists, school
    psychologists, and clinical psychologists. The supervising neuropsychologist/psychologist
    provides technical and clinical guidance and uses the assessments and reports that the
    psychometrist performs and prepares to assist in diagnosing and preparing treatment plans
    and recommendations for clients. Psychometrists’ assessments and records are also used to
    advance the field by using the test data for research. Knowledge and skills are developed
    through integrated coursework, lab, and practicum experiences.

    Students complete a four quarter sequential program of study, beginning in summer quarter.
    For working professionals, the program can be spread out over eight quarters, with practicum
    in the second year of study. After completion of the MS and a minimum of 2,000 hours of
    testing, scoring, and associated administrative experience under the supervision of a
    licensed/certified professional, a graduate may elect to sit for the Certified Specialist in
    Psychometry examination.

    Technology Requirements for Participation


    High bandwidth required; computer and browser requirements should follow program
    recommendations; webcam, a headset with microphone, and access to a personal scanner or
    printer that scans to PDF. Full participation throughout the web-conferencing activities and
