Special Education Department Mission
The mission of the Special Education Department is to improve the world through quality teacher preparation for P-12 students with disabilities. The department prepares professionals to work with P-12 students with developmental or learning disabilities or early childhood special needs. Procedures include both classroom and clinical work. Students completing a licensure program or degree are qualified to serve students in a variety of educational settings.
Pathways Available
A graduate student may follow any of three options:
- Masters degree candidate in Special Education.
- Graduate Special Student for licensure in specific program (Master’s Degree requires additional coursework, comprehensive exam, and professional paper.)
- Post-Baccalaureate Undergraduate candidate for licensure in specific program(s). This option is for graduates of four-year institutions who wish to continue preparation as undergraduate students and obtain additional licensure. This is not a graduate option and does not lead to a graduate degree. See undergraduate catalog.
