The Master of Education program in special education prepares you to further your knowledge of special education for learners in grades K-12 with mild or moderate disabilities, if you do not need to obtain teacher certification. The program builds on connections between educational design and decision-making and fosters strong professional growth and development. Faculty actively engage in the educational research community, bringing new and relevant knowledge into the program. You engage in your own research through applied project coursework, deepening your knowledge and improving your practice through research, critical evaluation and application of education concepts. The program culminates in an applied research project in which you apply what you've learned to address a challenge in special education. The master's degree program does not lead to teacher certification. If you are interested in certification, you should enroll in the MEd program in special education with a concentration in teacher certification or the graduate certificate.
