PhD in Education with a Concentration in Special Education

The PhD in Education with a concentration in Special Education is designed to address the acute shortage of doctoral level special education personnel in the Commonwealth and across the nation.  Program graduates will be prepared as content experts in pre-referral intervention and early intervention to assume positions of leadership as special education faculty at the university and college level.  Additionally, graduates of the special education concentration will have the professional skills to work with school systems to address the diverse learning needs and behavior challenges associated with the education of students with special needs and those students at risk.  Program graduates will attain a degree of proficiency in research and writing that will prepare them to make contributions to the professional literatures of special education and related disciplines. We currently are gathering data about this program.  If you are interested, please print and complete the PhD in Education with Concentration in Special Education Survey of Interest (MS Word) <view>.
