Undergraduate Programs

BAE in Deaf Studies Program of Study & M.Ed. in Deaf Education

Academic Learning Compact: Special Education

The undergraduate program in Special Education prepares teachers with competencies necessary to produce achievement gains and desirable behavior changes in students with disabilities. Special Education offers a track in deaf studies; this is also a five year program in which students complete certification in deaf education at the master's degree level.

Admission to the Program
Those entering the College of Education and Human Services must meet University admissions requirements as well as specific COEHS admissions criteria.

Tentative 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 that you:

have satisfied all prerequisites, foreign language, and General Education requirements, and
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.

To help you plan:

Deaf Education Field practicum and Field Lab I require at least 5 daytime hours per week at an assigned school site.
Successful completion of Deaf Education Field practicum and Field Lab I are prerequisite to internship.
Applications for internship are due by the 4th week of the term before you expect to intern. Late applications are not accepted.
Passing ALL FTCE (General Knowledge, Professional Education, and Subject Area Exam) is required prior to graduation from the Master’s program.
