Special Education Minor

The special education minor is optional for all majors.  IDS majors are required to complete the first three courses (EDUC 2315, 3343, 3346); therefore, the addition of EDUC 3335, Advocacy for Exceptional Learners, completes the minor.  The coursework presents an overview of special education history and legislation, instructional considerations, and professional responsibilities.  The minor was designed to prepare certification candidates for the TExES special education supplemental examination and for the general education teacher seeking to increase their knowledge of exceptional learners.
