This Master of Education degree focuses on the broader concepts of exceptionality (learning, instruction and development) and in-depth preparation in the area of autism.
This degree is an 24- to 36-month program designed for individuals who currently have or are eligible to receive a teaching certificate in Michigan, and who wish to receive state certification to teach individuals on the autism spectrum. The program is offered online. A practicum is required.
In partial fulfillment of the requirements to earn this credential, the Michigan Department of Education requires that candidates complete a minimum of 180 clock hours in an approved, supervised field experience, teaching students on the autism spectrum. The field experience is offered as the final experience required for K-12 certification in ASD. The specific nature of the experience will be individually determined at the time of approval of the field experience request.
