This graduate licensure program is designed for the licensed teacher (K-12) who wishes to add a special education teaching license in the area of mild interventions.
This non-degree licensure program consists of 21-27 credit hours, depending on whether prerequisites must be taken. Students can complete this licensure program in two summers and one academic year. Courses are offered via a combination of distance learning and on-campus seminars. All courses are taught by the faculty of the Department of Elementary, Early, and Special Education.
Upon successful completion of the Special Education Licensure Program, individuals are eligible to add a special education teaching license (in mild interventions) to an existing teaching license. Individuals will be recommended for licensure only at the developmental level of their existing teaching license.
Note: The University also offers a master of science in special education. This master degree can be completed in two academic years and the two summers, during which the student is completing the Special Education Licensure requirements.
