Master of Education in Special Education

The M.Ed. in Special Education program prepares students with knowledge, understanding, and abilities in the field of special education, EC-12. The specializations offered within the M.Ed. in Special Education offer students specific knowledge, leadership skills, and strategies to equip their students for success. At the completion of the program, which includes preparation for success on the state certification exam, students are prepared to begin a career as an lifelong educator.

More than an Education

The M.Ed. in Special Education first introduces students to multiple disabilities and other health impairments, then goes into detail on how to assess, plan, carry out individual education plans, and evaluate student growth. Students are supported throughout their program with frequent contact from their professors and later in practicum courses and internships from professional mentors. Students experience relationships that model successful special education. Educators and specialists meet with their students and families, as well as in collaboration and networking with other educators.

At DBU, you will find a quality education in a Christ-centered environment, lifetime friendships with peers and professors, and support from DBU faculty and staff as you step into your education career.

Marked by Service

The students in the M.Ed. in Special Education often serve students by sacrificing their personal time to design programs to help their students be successful, and the results are evident in each student’s progress. Students who need special education are sometimes misunderstood; they need educators and diagnosticians trained to provide them with a quality education that prepares them to be lifelong learners.
