The Graduate Studies Program in Special Education is designed to provide elementary/secondary certified teachers with the necessary educational background to meet the academic, emotional, and social goals of the student with special needs. Candidates take courses in the areas of assessment, curriculum, and behavior strategies.
Candidates who complete this program will satisfy the requirements for either elementary or secondary certification for children with mild and moderate disabilities. The program can also give additional expertise to individuals who have already completed an undergraduate program and are presently special education teachers.
Candidates are required to pass a special education core content exam before the completion of their program.
