The Teach Well Online Academy consists of a minimum of 36 semester hours of graduate level credit. The program is designed to prepare teachers to work with students who have disabilities. The program covers a range of topics that address issues within the field of special education and designing effective instruction for students with various needs. Courses are delivered via distance education using a variety of online instructional methods. No on-campus meetings are required.

The program is designed primarily for part-time students. Generally, participants take 2 courses per semester (including summers) and complete the program in 2 years. Please reference the program planner below.
