The curriculum addresses the complexities of the challenges faced by persons with disabilities, as well as the delivery of services needed in order to assist such persons as they strive for independence. Learning experiences are structured so students develop a comprehensive knowledge of the multifaceted nature of special education. The program includes four areas of emphasis: special education - general curriculum (for students with learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, and mental retardation); early childhood special education; autism spectrum disorders; and special education - adapted curriculum. Graduate students in the program select one or more of these areas of study and align their program with specific
endorsements on their teaching license.
