The Pre-Special education program prepares you to work with students in grades K-12. Special educators collaborate to make curriculum accessible and build inclusive settings. As an aspiring special education teacher, this program will help you to understand the complex human and social factors involved in educating children with diverse characteristics, as well as practices that support inclusion and lifelong learning. A bachelor's degree in education is the minimum requirement to become a teacher. As an associate degree program, UC Clermont offers freshman and sophomore coursework with the expectation that students will transfer to UC Clifton to complete their preparation and earn a bachelor's degree.

NOTE: Education majors are required to volunteer in local schools, typically between 10-20 hours per semester, in conjunction with their coursework. Though this time commitment is not significant, it is necessary to have reliable transportation and the ability to visit schools during regular business hours. An annual background check is also required (approximately $60).
