SPECIAL EDUCATION The online graduate program in Special Education is dedicated to preparing educators who understand child development and variations in student abilities, skills and maturation; and who can apply this knowledge to plan, implement and evaluate educational programs based on student needs, and current research and practice. Both the adaptive and gifted concentrations have a 24 credit hour endorsement program and a 36 credit hour master’s degree. The curriculum of each concentration meets the endorsement standards for Early Childhood through Late Childhood (Grades K to 6) and Early Adolescence through Late Adolescence (Grades 6 to 12). Scholarships are available for students going into the MS in Special Education/Adaptive. Go to www.emporia.edu/teach/elecse/specialeducation/adaptive/scholarships for more information.
