Overview

One of very few of its kind, this Special Education program at Winthrop University leads to the triple certification of our candidates and diversifies teacher opportunities our graduates will have in PK-12 schools. Specifically, Special Education program graduates will leave Winthrop with initial teaching licensures in: PK-12 Multi-categorical Disabilities, PK-12 Severe Disabilities, and Elementary Education Grades 2-6.
