Overview

Your coursework in professional studies and liberal arts—taught in small classes and enhanced with real-world experience beginning in your first year—will emphasize creative thinking, the evaluation of contemporary educational issues, and development of leadership skills.

The faculty in this course Early Childhood and Elementary Education - Special Education at Marywood University will consider you a professional colleague as well as a student: teacher candidates are required to maintain professional membership in the Council for Exceptional Children.

You'll graduate prepared to be a leader in the areas of intellectual disability, behavior disorders, learning disabilities, and multiple disabilities; you'll be ready to serve as a teacher in grades K through 12 in a school or residential setting, as a professional in adult services, or in another position of responsibility in this growing field.
