This study examined the lack of school psychology programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and department chairs' knowledge and perceptions of the field. The researchers surveyed department chairs at HBCUs with graduate programs. Their findings showed that only 18% of chairs were extremely knowledgeable about school psychology. Additionally, 91% recognized the lack of diversity in the field but only 1% of HBCUs had school psychology programs. Most chairs believed developing such a program at an HBCU could increase diversity. However, many cited lack of faculty availability, administrative approval, financial resources and geographic location as barriers.
