The coursework and practicum in the program will help prepare or further your knowledge of working with students with special needs. The main program focus is on mild to moderate disabilities and includes an emphasis on learning disabilities, mental conditions or other disabling conditions that require special equipment, materials and teaching procedures.

This includes behavioral, social, and academic development as well as preparing special education students for daily life beyond school also is an important aspect of the job.

A degree in special education prepares you for a rewarding career providing services to those with special needs or training others to work with students with special needs.
