Special Education Minor

Become a resource for those with special needs and work to improve education for the intellectually diverse.

Our minor in special education is ideal if you are looking for a way to assist those with various physical or intellectual challenges. Our program will enrich your elementary or middle school education major and prepare you to work with individuals with a wide range of disabilities and impairments.

Through our courses you will learn how to adapt, accommodate and differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all children. You will also learn how to become a partner with families and understand the importance of documentation, assessment and planning.

Teachers with special education knowledge are highly sought after. Many school districts want to offer inclusive education without the need for a regular and special educator in the classroom.
