The College of Saint Mary special education major may be completed in conjunction with a dual major in elementary education for an endorsement to teach kindergarten through grade six. A stand-alone degree in secondary special education is available for an endorsement to teach seventh through twelfth grade. We also offer an early childhood major with a special education minor.
With your special education major from College of Saint Mary you may teach children and youth who are verified as having specific learning disabilities, speech language impairments (language verification only), behavior disorders, orthopedic impairments, autism, other health ailments and traumatic brain injury. You may also teach verified children and youth who are placed in multi-categorical programs.
The special education major supports our inclusive strategies and an endorsement in special education can be a beneficial addition to a bachelor degree in elementary education or secondary education.
