MA/MS in Special Education and Teaching

This MAT for K-12 special education is designed for bachelor's degree holders who want to become special education teachers. Students choose a concentration in emotional impairment or specific learning disabilities. It pairs teacher preparation courses with school placements and a full-semester student teaching experience. Most classes run online, with some in-person sessions and evening synchronous meetings. A cohort begins each summer, and completers become eligible for a Michigan teaching certificate along with the degree once they pass the required state test for their concentration. The page lists the program as pending approval. Oakland University is located in Rochester, Michigan. Prospective students can review current course requirements, request more information or begin an application through the program's official page. Because costs, start terms and requirements can change from year to year, applicants should confirm the latest details with the department before they apply.
