The faculty is dedicated to providing a challenging and supportive environment in which students? rights and responsibilities are respected.

Faculty, throughout the program, continually assesses students and a student?s progress may be interrupted or terminated by failure to comply with academic standards, or if a student?s interpersonal or emotional status interferes with training/education related requirements for self and others.

In addition to academic competence, the special education curriculum requires students to be aware of their own personal/professional development, to be receptive to feedback in all courses, be open to personal growth and change, and be willing to present themselves in an open manner. Awareness of the needs of others and acceptance of human rights is paramount.
