Special Education

Make a difference in the lives of all learners, with and without disabilities.

The special education program prepares teachers and researchers to work with all kinds of learners.

You'll develop individualized programs and adapt instruction for students with a range of disabilities, including students with learning disabilities, communication impairments, autism, behavioral disorders, and others.

Through fieldwork, collaborative coursework, and engaging projects, you will gain the experience and confidence to implement well-designed teaching approaches and behavioral interventions that are supported by research.

Our graduates are highly sought after by school districts and universities across the United States and beyond.
