Special Education
Special education is both a minor and an add-on certification.
Students seeking special education certification must complete a major in early childhood education, elementary education, middle school education, or a secondary content area with a minor in secondary (9-12) or K-12 education and, in addition, complete the requirements for the special education add-on, as listed below.
Upon completion of all coursework, the student’s transcript will also reflect special education as a minor.
Courses must be carefully planned and sequenced by the student and the student’s advisor, as some required courses are offered intermittently.
