The B.A.E. in special education is a practice-oriented degree program that uses extensive field experiences along with both general and special education methods courses to provide students with an understanding of a variety of classroom environments and the responsibilities of programming for children with disabilities. This program is unique in its focus on professional development, practical application of current theory and educational technologies. Students apply what they are learning by participating in field internships each semester that are directly linked to course discussions and assignments.
During the first two years of the program, students explore education as a career field and gain experience in local community schools and agencies. During the final two years, students complete educational methods courses in the evening at ASU at the Polytechnic campus and intensive field experiences in local K-12 classrooms. Graduates will be eligible for K-12 special education cross-categorical certification and may choose to dually certify in elementary education or in a specific content area for secondary education. Course instructors have taught in a variety of K-12 settings and augment class experiences with practical applications.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
