Overview

The Master of Arts in Teaching-Special Education provides initial teacher preparation at the master’s degree level for qualified candidates who hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution.

Quick Facts:

Students who hold a provisional certificate and are the teacher-of-record in a teaching position that aligns with their program concentration and grade band (i.e., elementary education, AND a PK-12 classroom) will complete their field work in their own classroom. However, all schools must be accredited and if a student teaches PK they must be in an accredited preschool and work with 4 and 5 year-olds.
Students who are not employed will complete field experiences in a variety of settings and grade levels reflecting the certification span of the program. Students at Augusta University will complete field experiences in counties/schools where a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is in place.
