Academic Catalog 2018-19

Dual Degrees (BA/MS)/Dual (Preliminary Multiple Subject and Education Specialist Teacher Preparation Program)

The Liberal Studies, Special Education, and the Master of Science in Education Programs offer a Dual Degree/Dual Credential option. Upon completion of the Dual/Dual program, graduates will leave with two degrees, a BA and an MS as well as Multiple Subject and Education Specialist Preliminary credentials. The combination of courses across three programs provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical professional preparation for teaching elementary and special education students.

The Dual/Dual option combines courses allowing flexibility for both academic concentrations and course sequencing. The undergraduate Capstone and the graduate thesis provide opportunities for in-depth study. The course of study encompasses five academic years and two Summers.
