The Special Education Concentration offers possibilities for the following groups: |
|
Elementary Education Majors |
|
A sequence of 24 credits in special education can be selected by students seeking an elementary education BS degree at UMPI and wishing to pursue special education as their concentration (in lieu of another subject area major). Students in the elementary education program complete a general education core, a professional education sequence of courses, and a subject area major or special education concentration. The knowledge and skill acquired in this concentration should apply to a diversity of learners, with and without special needs. In combination with an elementary certificate, the special education concentration should prepare a more desirable teacher candidate in the eyes of future employers. |
