What will I learn?

The Advanced Certificate in Special Education prepares holders of initial New York State certification, and a masters degree, to support children with special needs from grades PreK-12. In order to earn the certificate, students must complete the 18 credits of special education courses within the program, and pass the New York State Content Specialty Tests (CST) in Special Education. This advanced coursework is designed to foster greater special education knowledge and understanding among masters-level educators. Students in this program further develop the attitudes and abilities needed to identify and remediate major learning and behavior disorders, ranging from mild to profound, regardless of etiology. Attention is also paid to diagnosis, intervention, program planning and program evaluation.
