I just graduated from the special education program in the School of Ed. This program is excellent! The professors are very knowledgeable, supportive and challenging.The professors and staff are always available to students through office appointments, phone calls, and email. Courses are offered at a convenient time and every course contained practical information that I could use immediately. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wishes teach LD or EI.
