Educational psychology: special education track
 The four main programs within special education are described
below.
The doctor of philosophy degree leads primarily to a career as a
researcher and university professor.
The master of arts degree leads to a career in research or continued
study to complete the doctorate. This program does not lead to
licensure.
To obtain initial or additional licensure, students must first
enroll in the master of education program. This program is primarily
for those interested in K-12 classroom teaching.
Certificates in applied behavior analysis and autism spectrum disorder are designed to prepare teachers and related service
personnel. Specializations in
are available in the M.A., Ph.D. and licensure programs. Our goal is to advance opportunities for learning and development of
infants, children and adults who require specialized instruction,
educational adaptations and support for their learning efforts to
succeed. The special education faculty is committed to research,
leadership and practice that will have an impact on academic, social
and behavioral development in diverse cultural contexts.
