Program Description

The Department of Special Education offers two concentrations: an on-campus program that leads to eligibility for teaching licensure, and a fully online program intended for individuals in roles as consultants, advocates, and administration in accessibility/disability focused non-profits, and educators seeking specialized knowledge in special education.

The Special Education concentration articulates with five graduate certificates that prepare graduate students for roles in special education settings. The student's program of study may be designed to emphasize the education of K-12 students with learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders, developmental disabilities, or autism spectrum disorders.

The Specialty Program M.S. emphasizes the application of research in special education to the public, community, and non-profit settings and may be completed in as little as one calendar year. The Specialty Program does not lead to licensure eligibility.
