Special Education/License Only

With this program students have the opportunity to pursue a Special Education teaching license. This program has been newly redesigned to meet the standards for the Tennessee Special Education Interventionist License. Students will choose the K-8 or 6-12 license. The program will provide you with coursework in Special Education that addresses a wide range of topics from disabilities to instructional strategies to legal issues. In addition, students will take one course in applied behavior analysis. Candidates will develop effective communication and collaboration skills in Special Education and will practice the creation, implementation and use of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).

Participants in the Special Education endorsement program are classified as “non-degree seeking”. The program adheres to similar admission standards and procedures and academic policies of the Graduate Studies in Education department.
