Master of Science in Special Education/
Special Educator Option
The Special Educator option is appropriate
for the graduate student who currently holds a certificate
other than Special Education but desires to earn an
endorsement in K-12 Special Education and commence
course work for the MSE in Special Education. (Twenty-four
credit hours in the Special Educator option will apply
toward the endorsement in Special Education. These
credits or the MSE in Special Education alone do not
provide full endorsement.)
The degree includes 36-40 credit hours
dependent upon choice of option. Both options require
that two-thirds (2/3) of the course work be completed
at the 600 level. The MSE in Special Education is
based on the guidelines of the Council for Exceptional
Children.
