Overview

High Point University's Special Education program is based within the liberal arts tradition; it is rigorous, field-centered and highly personalized. The teacher education programs at High Point University meet the requirements of both the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the North Carolina State Board of Education.

Special education majors have a choice between two programs of study, General Curriculum or Adapted Curriculum. A major in special education will qualify a student for licensure either in Special Education: General Curriculum (K-12) or Special Education: Adapted Curriculum (K-12) depending upon which program of study they choose to follow. Several General Education area requirements and core courses may be fulfilled by required courses in professional education and supporting disciplines.
