Through coursework and internship experiences, students learn to address the instructional needs of students with mild and moderate cognitive disabilities. An 18-credit special education core is required of all students. This core develops competencies in the assessment and remediation of students with learning disabilities, collaborative teaching/consultation skills, and knowledge about New Jersey special education law.

The program does not include coursework leading to teacher certification in special education. Students with a bachelors degree who are interested in initial teacher certification in special education should contact the Office of Student and Academic Services.
