• Through this program students will conduct fieldwork and research projects, collaborate with faculty and other students on important initiatives, participate in colloquia with experts from various disciplines, and supervise undergraduates’ field experiences. Because there is a shortage of qualified special education professionals, it is possible that your education could be fully funded through U.S. Department of Education grants.
  • The Special Education graduate program is closely associated with the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development, one of 14 national centers for research on intellectual and developmental disabilities. This relationship allows you to benefit from the center's many available resources and programs.
