The Special Education graduate programs provide professionals with the specialized knowledge, skills and experiences needed to meet the educational needs of children with special needs.
The curricula are based on the Standards of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and meet the requirements of the Michigan Department of Education.
The graduate programs in Special Education are:
- Master of Education with an endorsement in Specific Learning Disability
- Master of Education with an endorsement in Emotional Impairment
- Master of Education with an endorsement in Autism
- Master of Education with dual endorsements in Specific Learning Disability and Emotional Impairment
- Endorsement only: Autism (for those with prior endorsement in special education). This may also be completed through ACE, Autism Collaborative Endorsement (Online) for special education teachers.
