"I didn't expect to get real experience this early, but by my sophomore year I was already working on projects that felt like actual marketing work. It made me feel confident that I'm ready for what comes next."Alex WilcoxonMarketing | Junior
Special Education prepares you to teach and support students with disabilities, and it is a rewarding fit if you are patient, adaptable and committed to helping every learner succeed. You choose between the Early Childhood option (birth to 3) and the Standard Special Education option (K-12), and you can add dual certification in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education (K-9) or Secondary Education (6-12).
