MSE in Special Education - Instructional Specialist 4-12

The purpose of the MSE degree in Special Education - Instructional Specialist 4-12 is to offer educators an advanced performance-based program of study based on the recommendations of professional organizations and accrediting associations such as the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and NCATE. Students completing this program gain expertise in teaching students exhibiting developmental, learning and behavioral disabilities, and in consulting with general education teachers who have students with disabilities in their classrooms.

Students in this program must have a written commitment from a practicing educator who will function as your mentor during the program. The written commitment must be in the form of a letter on school/district letterhead, signed by the mentor.  Speak to a representative in order to learn more about mentor qualifications and responsibilities.
