MA/MS in Special Education and Teaching

The special education master's programs aim to improve services for exceptional children and lead to Class A professional certification. Certification areas cover collaborative teaching, early childhood and severe disabilities. A concentration in autism is also available but does not lead to licensure. An overseas version for students abroad also exists without licensure. Applicants should be aware of state education department rules in addition to Graduate School standards, and students should check current program checklists and consult advisors before each registration. Admission notes: Graduate School requirements plus Alabama State Department of Education certification requirements. The page belongs to the university's online graduate catalog, which lists course requirements and policies, so applicants should confirm current details with the academic department and the admissions office before submitting an application or planning a course sequence. Tuition, fees and funding are published separately by the university and are not stated on this page, so they are not listed here.
