Special Education
Specialist Program
Introduction
The educational specialist program in the Department of Special Education is a self-contained degree program between the masters degree and doctoral degree. It provides a competency based approach to advanced study for those preparing for leadership positions in field-based applied settings. Although the EDS degree may become the final degree for many individuals, obtaining this degree does not preclude the EDS graduate from later becoming a candidate for the Ph.D. degree. Coursework and resident credit used to satisfy the EDS degree, however, cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of a doctoral degree. Students may seek certification in behavior disorders, learning disabilities, mental retardation or special education administration and seek endorsement in early childhood special education.
