Overview

Students who complete the certification courses in Special Education at Indiana University Indianapolis receive certification in both "mild" and "intense" interventions, as established by the Indiana Professional Standards Board. Candidates must already be licensed to teach elementary or secondary education.

Career outcomes

When you think about getting a degree from the IUPUI School of Education, you probably imagine yourself in a K–12 classroom, teaching students what they need to know to succeed in life.

And for good reason. Teaching is a rewarding profession—and one that is bursting with job opportunities in Indiana and across the country. Almost every state is facing a teaching shortage, particularly in special education, English as a second language, and STEM fields.

Many of the skills that are essential to being effective in the classroom are highly desired by employers in almost every industry you can think of. As an education student, you learn to feel comfortable with public speaking. You learn how to communicate effectively in both small groups and large. And you learn how to make complex topics understandable to anyone—regardless of age or schooling level.

But teaching is only one of the careers you can pursue with an education degree.
