In our Special Education undergraduate program, we offer two subject concentrations:
- Language Arts & Math
- Language Arts & Science
In the Language Arts and Math concertation, our students will be able to communicate the principles of basic grammar, verb usage, essay writing, and comprehensive literacy instruction for students with significant cognitive disabilities. In addition, our students are able to teach the basic arithmetic through algebra by creating a curriculum based on the foundation of theory and best classroom practices.
