Special Education/License Only (27 hours)

With this program candidates 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. Candidates 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. Candidates will develop effective communication and collaboration skills in Special Education and will practice the creation, implementation and use of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).

Candidates 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.
