The special education program prepares preservice teachers to teach children and adolescents in kindergarten through 12th grade who have learning disabilities, mental retardation or emotional/behavioral disorders. Teaching in special education requires an in-depth knowledge of how individuals with special needs learn. Preservice teachers are prepared to develop strategies and techniques for teaching along with a broad knowledge of general education subjects. School internships are required in the program. The program is aligned with the standards of the Council for Exceptional Children. A dual-degree program with elementary education is also offered.

ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
The B.A.E. in special education leads to a recommendation for certification in K-12 special education in Arizona. This program provides preparation in each disability area; however, the certificate the student qualifies for will be determined by his or her student teaching placement.

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.
