Overview

Key Features

Two special education licensure options are available: an M.Ed. leading to initial license and an M.Ed. leading to endorsement. The Special Education program from University of Arkansas is an on-line program, allowing students the opportunity to pursue educational goals at a time and place that fits their individual schedules. The practicum courses take place in public schools across the United States.

Special Education graduate certificates and other Arkansas Department of Education endorsements (such as Gifted, Dyslexia, Educational Examiner, Resource Room, Special Education) offered by the special education program can be embedded into the Special Education master's degree program. The College of Education and Health Professions provides the coursework needed for successful teacher candidates to submit a request for the special education license or endorsement from the Arkansas Department of Education. Prospective students not residing in Arkansas must check their own state’s requirements and reciprocity agreements. Nationally recognized faculty provide the instruction for the program.
