Overview

During the last several academic years, 100% of our graduates have accepted teaching contracts upon graduation. Special education is a critical shortage area and our graduates are in high demand.

Graduates of Special Education are well prepared to gain special education certification, as 100% of our students successfully complete the Praxis II in Special Education.

Towson University is known as a leader in preparing local teachers for the next step in their career.

Our faculty offer hands-on, practical application based on their experiences teaching in K-12 schools.

Towson is a smart economical option for students who are funding their own graduate degrees, and current teachers may be able to further defray these costs by seeking tuition reimbursement from their school or district.

Our on-campus M. Ed. program is flexible and allows students to move at their own pace. Most of our students complete the degree in 2-3 years.
