Overview

Early intervention is key for many children with disabilities, and so the early childhood special education teacher has the potential to make a lifelong impact.

The Early Childhood Special Education major from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee leads to a Bachelor of Science in Exceptional Education. Teacher candidates are admitted to the Early Childhood major upon declaring the major or transferring from another institution. Upon completion, you will be eligible to apply for a Cross-Categorical Special Education Teaching License from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for ages birth to eight (Grades 0-3).
