Inclusive Education - Bachelor of Science in Education
The Inclusive Education Major leads to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. The program leads to blended licensure in both K-12 Mild to Moderate and Moderate to Intensive Special Education, Primary Education (PK- 5) and incorporates the K-12 TESOL endorsement within four years. The program develops and prepares graduates to teach through the key tenets of disability studies in education to create educationally just experiences for all students. During their course of study, students will engage in culturally responsive teaching practices and become active contributors to curriculum development through integrated methodologies, enhancing educational outcomes for all learners. Throughout the program, students will participate in intentional field experiences in various settings, working with a diverse student population, culminating in a 12-week, full-time student teaching experience.
