Bachelor of Science program in Childhood Education and Childhood Special Education (Grades 16)

This dual-certification Bachelor of Science program in Childhood Education and Childhood Special Education is designed to prepare teachers in both childhood education (grades 16) and special education settings. Students are exposed to an integrated curriculum emphasizing human variability and are prepared in the various content areas of the elementary curriculum.

The curriculum includes a full range of field experiences and observations, culminating in four semesters of student teaching opportunities in a public or independent school. Throughout your freshman and sophomore years, you will have opportunities to work in Grades 13 and Grades 46 settings, in both general education and special education, acquiring valuable teaching experience as you launch your professional career. In your junior year, you will have four student teaching experiences, supervised by a cooperating teacher at your school site and a member of our faculty.
