Special Education Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

To earn a minor in Special Education, students must earn a minimum of 19 credit hours in SPED classes to earn K-12 licensure in special education. Supervised teaching (SPED 449 ) includes one half semester in a general education classroom and the other half in a special education setting. SPED 440 does not count toward this minor because it is a required course for all pre-service teachers. Since this minor leads to K-12 licensure in the mild intervention content area and several required teacher performance standards are embedded in additional education courses, the special education minor is open to education majors only.
