About the course

This bachelor's degree is designed to prepare both educators for the classroom and individuals working in a special education context outside of the classroom with the specialized skills and content knowledge needed to support the needs of individuals with disabilities. Students may focus their program on a specific area in the field by completing a teacher licensure concentration (i.e., Teaching Students with Disabilities who Access the General Curriculum K-12, Teaching Students with Disabilities who Access the Adapted Curriculum K-12, Teaching Students with Blindness and Visual Impairments PK-12) or a non-licensure sequence to fulfill the requirements for the BSEd in Special Education degree program.

　　Mason’s bachelor's degree in special education is designed to prepare both educators for the classroom and individuals working in special education contexts outside of the classroom with the specialized skills and content knowledge to support the needs of individuals with disabilities. Students who plan to teach may focus their program on a specific area in the field by adding a licensure concentration.

　　Many of our graduates will excel working as educators, but an understanding of special education can be important in settings beyond the classroom. For instance, studying special education benefits aspiring consultants, advocates, tutors, parents, curriculum specialists, coordinators, and other practitioners.
