The Special Education: undergraduate program is designed to meet the licensure standards as determined by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. The five-semester program of study is typically begun in the second year after successful completion of General Education requirements.

The Department employs a cohort model for the preparation of undergraduates, with all students from a given year considered members of the same cohort.

Cohort students concurrently enroll in the same block of courses. All interested students are highly encouraged to contact the Coordinator for program information and guidance for admission procedures
