Special Education Minor

Who Would be Interested in a Special Education Minor?

Students who:

• are pursuing careers in health and human service fields like nursing, occupational therapy, recreation, psychology, criminal justice and safety, and social work.
• have an interest in supporting individuals with disabilities in their home and work communities.
• are interested in the rich diversity of our world and are seeking information that will give them an understanding of the contributions that individuals with disabilities bring to the world.

Why a Special Education Minor?

Benefits of the minor

This minor provides the student with three required foundational courses in special education and then allows the student to choose three elective courses across areas of disability (early childhood special education, education of the deaf and hard of hearing, or learning and behavior disorders). Students can focus their study in one area of special education or choose courses across all of the areas.
