Program Description

Special Education at SCSU offers an undergraduate, comprehensive major that leads to recommendation for licensure to teach students with learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders, or developmental disabilities. Students will complete a common sequence of coursework culminating in a student teaching experience and specialized coursework during their senior year. After obtaining the K-12 initial license at the undergraduate level, students will have completed a majority of the coursework for the additional licenses, which may be obtained at the graduate level. At the graduate level, students may obtain an additional license in a program that leads to a Master of Science degree. The graduate student's program of study may be designed to emphasize education of K-12 students with learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders, developmental disabilities, or autism.
