Why study Special Education at Washburn?

Our program is designed to get you into the classroom so you can build experience, grow your expertise and be prepared for licensure exams.

By completing your provisional licensure requirements at the beginning of the Special Education program, you can get going and keep learning.
A licensure-only option is available.

If you earned your B.Ed. at Washburn University, you can transition right into this program without the application process.

Our graduates now work in a variety of settings: self-contained classrooms, resource rooms, in consultation with others, in public or private schools, and in institutions including adolescent correctional facilities.
