Special Education Minor
The Special Education Minor is available to all majors. Education-Elementary and Interdisciplinary Studies Majors are required to complete three special education courses (
EDUC 2315 or
EDUC 2316,
EDUC 3343,
EDUC 3346); therefore, the addition of
EDUC 3335, Advocacy for Exceptional Learners, completes the minor. The coursework presents an overview of special education history and legislation, instructional considerations, and professional responsibilities. The minor is designed to prepare general education teachers for inclusive classrooms. The coursework has been aligned to the TExES Special Education supplemental certification exam competencies.
