BA/BS in Special Education and Teaching

Special Education is offered as a combined bachelor's and master's pathway. Students complete upper-division undergraduate coursework and then a further year of graduate study, finishing with a graduate degree in curriculum and instruction. Completing the pathway satisfies the requirements of Florida's approved teacher preparation requirements and makes graduates eligible for a Florida teaching certificate for exceptional student education for kindergarten through twelfth grade. Entry into the graduate stage of the route is a separate step, and a short prerequisite and pre-education course set applies to applicants. Florida State University is located in Tallahassee, and the program page lists named contacts and advising offices who can answer questions about admission, course planning, and degree requirements before a student applies. Because requirements and details can change, prospective students should confirm current information with the department or advising office, and should review the full program page for course lists and further guidance.
