The City College offers two graduate programs in Special Education: Teachers of Students with Disabilities in Childhood Education (Grades 1-6) and Teachers of Students with Disabilities in Middle Childhood Education (Grades 5-9). The programs require 31-43 credit hours (depending on previous coursework) and lead to a Master of Science in Education. The inclusion model of delivering special education services in an urban environment is emphasized but candidates will be prepared to work in self-contained environments as well. |
| The college also offers a program in Bilingual Special Education, leading to a Master of Science degree that prepares teachers to address the educational, emotional, and behavioral needs of linguistically diverse minority students with a wide range of disabilities. Students completing the program become certified in Special Education1-6 with a Bilingual Extension. For students with initial certification, the program requires 43 credit hours. For students without initial certification, 56 credit hours are required. |  Share your expertise in the classroom |
