Our faculty is committed to preparing educators who are:
- Competent, caring, and qualified,
- Anchored in the liberal arts,
- Practice effective pedagogy,
- Reflect on the teaching and learning process, and
- Exemplify ethical, human, and democratic principles.
We offer a new, state-of-the-art, combined B.S. in Childhood Education and M.S.Ed. in Special Education program, as well as four M.S.Ed. Special Education graduate degree programs.
You'll participate in a special education graduate program that provides an up-to-date curriculum that incorporates literacy and special education. You'll benefit from extensive field experience in a variety of classroom settings. In the combined B.S./M.S.Ed. program, you'll even start teaching in your first undergraduate semester. Finally, you'll receive personal advisement from experienced full-time faculty.
Through close relationships with faculty and peers, and excellent teaching - in our classrooms and in the schools - both our combined program and our special education graduate programs will fulfill your degree and teacher certification requirements.
