Exceptional Education, BS: K4-12 Special Education
Special education certification in the state of Wisconsin has undergone changes in the grade levels associated with specific licenses. The UWM Special Education program is adapting curriculum to prepare students to teach in K4-12 settings, including extensive fieldwork. This program prepares students to work in urban settings and takes place in close partnership with local school districts.
The UWM School of Education’s urban mission is upheld in the special education program’s commitment to preparing pre-service teachers to meet the needs of diverse populations. Students are admitted into the program upon admission to the University and completion of pre-professional coursework. It is possible to complete the program in four years. This is a field-based program involving gradual and extensive work in urban schools. Upon successful completion of all student teaching requirements, including state required assessments, students will be licensed to teach in special education.
