Graduate-level programs for future teachers

Initial teacher licensure programs are offered in the areas of Elementary and Secondary Special Education, Early Intervention, Early Childhood, and Visual Impairments. We also offer a unique program of Dual Licensure in Elementary and Special Education. Elementary, middle, or high school teachers can add a special education endorsement to their existing license.

More advanced courses are offered to teachers seeking to renew their initial special educator license or seeking a continuing license in special education.

In most programs, students can attend full-time or part-time, and courses are offered at times convenient for working teachers and paraprofessionals. Use the links to your left to learn more about each of our programs and coursework.
