Michigan
State University has a distinguished
record in Special Education through graduate programs that prepare
practitioners and scholars in three concentrations: Deaf
Education, Emotional Impairments,
Learning Disabilities.
The Doctoral program allows students
aspiring to academic or professional leadership careers to follow their
own unique scholarly interests after building a strong foundation in
inquiry, research methods, and special education.
Our Master's program can lead
to a recommendation for a teaching endorsement in Deaf
Education, Emotional Impairments,
and Learning Disabilities.
Graduate students seeking an initial or second endorsement in
Emotional Impairment or Learning Disabilities can choose between a unique
cohort option, which allows students to earn their endorsement in as
few as five semesters, or a traditional program. In the MA Cohort
Program, graduate students participate in unique professional communities
of practice experience, with extended opportunities to interact with
a small group of colleagues as they progress through the program. This
program is specifically tailored to meet the unique demands and needs
of classroom teachers. The MA Program
in Emotional Impairment and Learning Disabilities is developed to foster
a number of key professional dispositions for teaching in the 21st
Century, including collaborative problem solving, disciplined inquiry,
effective communication, instructional expertise, and serving as a resource
for students, families, and communities.
