Special Education (General and Adapted Curriculum)
4 Year Major BS
This major prepares individuals to become special education teachers for students grades K-12.
Students major in special education with a concentration in both general curriculum and adapted curriculum.
General curriculum licensure prepares teacher candidates to work with students with disabilities who are pursuing a standard high school diploma, whereas
Adapted curriculum licensure prepares teacher candidates to work with students with disabilities who are more significantly impacted by their disability and working on a specialized curriculum.
Both licenses may be obtained through specialized advising.
