Welcome
Welcome to the St. Cloud State University's Department of Special Education program. Faculty members in the Special Education Department are committed to preparing high quality teachers for students with disabilities. We see our mission as producing leaders for the field of special education. We offer programs leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree (plus licensure) and the Master of Science Degree.We also award four Graduate Certificates that lead to licensure (Learning Disabilities, Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, Developmental Disabilities, and Physical Health Disabilities) and one certificate program that does not lead to licensure (Autism). In addition, we are part of a Minnesota collaborative program that leads to licensure in Blind/Visual Impairment.
Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to become members of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). The goal of CEC is to improve educational outcomes for individuals with exceptionalities. At the University level, SCEC works to broaden educational experiences for future educators. SCEC sponsors a variety of activities including speakers, peer advising, social events, and community experiences. Active participation in SCEC is considered an important part of the professional growth and development of future educators (http://www.stcloudstate.edu/sped/cec.asp).
