Deaf Studies (ESE to K-12)
Block Schedule
This block schedule is not to be used in lieu of your Program of Study but to assist in appropriate sequencing of course work and for planning each term. This tentative schedule is subject to change. The schedule assumes:
- You have satisfied all prerequisites, foreign language, and General Education requirements.
- You are a full-time student, can take day and evening classes, and do not break continuity.
NOTE: Certification in Deaf Education comes only after successful completion of the M.Ed. Program. The B.A.E. in Deaf Studies is a preparatory degree for the Deaf Education M.Ed. Program and by itself does not lead to any teaching certification.
