It is a 39-hour program that leads to full certification in preschool special education.

Student teaching field experience placements will be coordinated in the student’s local area within approved preschool special education classrooms.
Admission to the M.A. program requires applicants to have an undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale for all previously completed undergraduate university coursework. They also must take the GRE or MAT entrance examination.
