Master of Arts in Special Education

Western Michigan University

Students may focus their studies on obtaining a special education teaching endorsement in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emotional impairments (EI), or learning disabilities (LD) or a master's degree as a behavior intervention specialist. All options are based on competencies from the Council for Exceptional Children and/or the Michigan Department of Education. Upon admission, students are assigned an advisor. Prior to taking classes, students must meet with their advisor to develop a graduate program of study and complete an endorsement evaluation.
