MA/MS in Special Education and Teaching

This teaching degree lets practicing classroom teachers add expertise in special education. Most educators in the field support children with mild or moderate disabilities by modifying instruction, while a smaller number teach students with profound needs, focusing on daily-living skills and early literacy. Enrollees can strengthen their confidence, learn current classroom approaches, and exchange ideas with fellow professionals. The faculty blend theory with practice. It is one of several specializations within the university's graduate teaching degree, alongside early childhood, classroom teaching and literacy specialist options.
