Dual Program with Special Education

Candidates for the multiple subject credentials may be interested in adding a credential in special education. The preliminary multiple subject credential and preliminary education specialist credential programs have been designed with this interest in mind. Many courses are the same in the two programs to facilitate opportunities for candidates to complete both credentials. Students in the elementary education and secondary education programs interested in special education are urged to seek advice from faculty in the special education division.
