The major in Special Education requires 120 semester hours including courses which satisfy the General Education requirements. It is designed to prepare teachers in special education and will meet the Tennessee requirements for licensure in Special Education in the Modified Program, K-12 (for individuals with mild/moderate disabilities). A grade of “C” is required.

NOTE: The Special Education Modified degree program and licensure will not be offered after August 31, 2018. The Tennessee State Department of Education is replacing the Special Education Modified (K-12) teaching license with the Special Education Interventionist (K-8) license and the Special Education Interventionist (6-12) license. Programs to address these new licensure changes are in development. Please contact the program coordinator for additional information.
