Special Education: Mild & Intense Intervention K-6

About

There is currently a severe shortage of qualified teachers in special education.

A degree in special education enables you to meet the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. Special education majors are eligible for dual licensure in the areas of special education: mild intervention and intense intervention, which enables them to serve children who experience mild to severe emotional, learning, or intellectual disabilities in kindergarten through grade 6.

During this program, you will learn to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), use assistive technology and develop instructional material and environmental modifications - all essential elements for teaching individuals with diverse needs.

Students who successfully complete all requirements of a teacher preparation program that is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and the Indiana Department of Education are eligible for licensure in the state of Indiana. Purdue has interstate licensing agreements with the other 49 U.S. states which means graduates will be able to teach in Indiana and any other state in the country.

Once licensed, a special education graduate is qualified to teach children who experience mild to severe emotional, learning, or intellectual disabilities, including children on the autism spectrum in kindergarten through grade 6 in a public, private, or independent school.

Entry Requirements

For most first-time college students (future freshman) a complete application includes:

The application itself
Purdue-specific questions from the application
Self-reported high school grades
Self-reported ACT or SAT test scores*
Proof of English proficiency (for citizens of non-English speaking countries)
The application fee (or qualified fee waiver)

Students apply to Purdue using the Common Application. This application requires you to provide a personal essay and answer Purdue-specific questions. View current essay questions.

We accept SAT or ACT scores and have no preference on which test is taken. You may report the best scores from across different tests. If able, you should take one or the other in the spring of your junior year in preparation for the November 1 Early Action deadline that encompasses scholarship consideration.

When you apply, you are able to report best components from different test dates. School codes for Purdue West Lafayette: ACT – 1230; SAT – 1631.

*For Spring, Summer, and Fall 2023, Purdue is test flexible. This means that if a student can take an SAT or ACT, we prefer they do so. However, we recognize that possible cancellations and postponement of national standardized tests due to pandemic restrictions may be impacting students’ applications. With that in mind, we will move forward and review any application from a student who is unable to take a standardized test.

Looking ahead: In 2024, Purdue will return to requiring the SAT or ACT test score(s) for admission consideration.
