Between 1974 and 1978, the Ohio Psychological Association and other relevant groups sought the establishment of such a program in spite of opposition from some academic psychologists who believe psychologist should be trained to design and conduct research projects, as well as to be competent in professional practice. The 112 th Ohio General Assembly enacted legislation to establish the School of Professional Psychology at WSU. In 1977 Dean Ronald Fox was selected, and the formal proposal for the degree program written during 1978. Students were first enrolled in the Fall of 1979. Since the graduation of its first students, the Wright State University School of Professional Psychology has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association. Currently, the School of Professional Psychology at WSU educates students for excellence and innovation in the practice of psychology. The school aspires to ensure training that is oriented to both personal and professional development within a challenging and respectful environment which values diversity among faculty, staff, students, clients, and community.
