About the course

The Special Education Program at the University of Memphis is designed to facilitate the development of professional practitioners and leaders with skills specific to meeting the diverse needs of individuals with exceptionalities. Special Education programs include both educator preparation and behavior therapist (BCBA) development options. Additionally, advanced terminal degrees are offered for those seeking leadership roles in both program areas. Teacher licensure in Special Education is offered in one of two concentration areas. Those seeking to teach students with high incidence disabilities (such as learning disabilities) may seek a license in Modified Special Education. Those seeking to teach students with more involved disabilities (such as more severe intellectual disabilities) may seek licensure in Comprehensive Special Education.
