Specialist in School Psychology

The specialist degree is an academic degree conferred by a college or university successfully completed five years of study.

The Specialist degree (Russian: специалист) in the former Soviet Union was the only first degree conferred in that country. The degree is traditionally believed to have originated in the engineering education of the Russian Empire. It currently is being phased out by the bakalavr's (Baccalaureate) and magistr's (Magister or Master's) degrees.

In the early 1990s the bakalavr and magistr were introduced in all countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States except Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. However, the specialist degree (five years degree) remains the most commonly conferred master's degree in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Tajikistan. The specialist degrees in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan were renamed diplom. A similar degree in German-speaking countries is called the Diplom. The specialist degree was discontinued in Ukraine in 2017.

Under commonwealth of independent states' education law, the specialist degree requires five years of study (which is equivalent to master's degrees).
