Program Course and Sequence
The Special Education Undergraduate Program includes a combination of courses and experiences across a variety of settings. Students only enter into the "Special Education Blocks" courses in the two semesters immediately prior to taking their student teaching practicum. In other words, typically, you will complete special education courses in the last two years of your program.
Advising
As a Special Education major, you will need to meet with an assigned advisor in the School of Special Education, and together you will complete an individually tailored plan to complete your program.
Grade Point Average
As you progress through the program, you will need to maintain an acceptable Grade Point Average (GPA) so that you do not fall behind. Students are required to have a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher to enter the upper level courses. They must then have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to enter into the Student Teaching Practicum that occurs at the end of the program.
Licensure Exams
Special Education majors must pass 2 licensure exams prior to being recommended for licensure from this program. Students must pass an Elementary Content Test and a Special Education Generalist Licensure Test.
