The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Exceptional Children and Youth is designed to develop professional educators committed to careers that involve children, youth, and adults with disabilities. Graduates are prepared to work as special education teachers, education consultants, or educational technology specialists.

The traditional degree Master’s Program (MP) track is appropriate for teachers with a teaching certificate in either general or special education who wish to develop advanced knowledge and skills. The traditional degree MP track also may be suitable for individuals who are not teachers but have other experience in the disabilities field and wish to pursue an advanced degree only.
