Overview

You'll learn to develop modifications of a wide range of educational components such as content knowledge, methods of instruction and assessment through adaptation of materials, processes and research-based interventions.

The Master of Education Degree in Special Education at Lamar University provides you an opportunity to apply knowledge through practical applications.

This degree program aligns with standards developed by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC): Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES). You'll have unique access to teaching internships in the area and your choice of career options upon graduation.

Career Paths

Upon successful completion of this program, you may seek opportunities as special education director, department head, integrated curriculum developer or supervisor, assessment coordinator or integrated classroom teacher. A shortage of special education teachers in Texas means you are likely to have a great deal of choice in your preferred location.
