Special education teachers work with students who have learning, mental, emotional and physical disabilities, including speech and hearing disorders. In some cases, they ensure that lessons and strategies are modified to accommodate the student. In other cases, they help students with basic literacy and math skills, communication skills and independent living skills.
Our department offers programs designed to meet the interests of undergraduate and graduate students interested in working with individuals who have special needs.

The department’s programs include a BSE degree in Special Education (Moderate Disabilities, Severe Disabilities or Communication Disorders), a five-year dual licensure program (BSE in Elementary Education/M.Ed in Special Education), a minor in special education and communication disorders, and a minor in communication disorders.
