Special Education Minor
The Special Education Minor is primarily designed to prepare teacher candidates to support students’ academic and behavioral needs in inclusive classroom settings. While the minor is not required for Education-Elementary Majors or Interdisciplinary Studies Majors; three of the four minor courses are on the degree plans; therefore, one additional course (
EDUC 3335) will complete the minor. Education-Secondary Majors, Education-All Level Majors, and Education Minors are required to complete one course (
EDUC 2316) and have the option of completing additional courses and the minor. Students in non-education majors may also complete the Special Education Minor. Non-Education majors may choose
EDUC 2315 for an elementary grades focus or
EDUC 2316 for a secondary grades focus. The Special Education Minor requires four courses (12 credit hours):
EDUC 2315 or
EDUC 2316,
EDUC 3343,
EDUC 3346, and
EDUC 3335.
The minor in Special Education requires 12 credit hours
