The undergraduate program in Special Education prepares teachers with competencies necessary to produce achievement gains and desirable behavior changes in students with disabilities. Successful completion of the courses of study will result in a Florida Professional Certificate with an ESOL endorsement. The program is sequential in nature with some courses offered only once a year. Therefore, students are to work closely with the academic advisor to ensure they are familiar with the course offerings and program schedule each semester. Before beginning course work, students must consult an advisor in the College's Office of Academic Advising and it is recommended students look at the Osprey Map.
Students are only considered for admission into the Baccalaureate Degree program in Exceptional Student Education during the Fall semester only.
