The University of North Dakota's Master's
in Special Education online program
prepares you to serve students with mild to moderate
disabilities in a variety of settings, including
schools, hospitals, state and private institutions,
or other human service agencies. As a graduate
of the two-year program, you will be qualified
to diagnose difficulties for children and young
adults, to plan curricular approaches, and to
develop and deliver instructional programs with
the help of other pertinent professionals in
the school.
Through online courses, you will:
- learn concepts, practices, and approaches that
benefit children with school-related difficulties.
- apply what you have learned in a practicum/internship
setting so you can further refine diagnostic and
prescriptive skills with children and young adults.
- view your specialty within the broader context
of the school setting by becoming familiar with
issues, trends, and research that mark contemporary
education.
- be encouraged to have an inquiring and questioning
attitude toward your profession.
- become conversant with the literature of the
field and be encouraged to be a lifelong learner.
Depending on your interests and career goals, you
can earn either a Master of Education or Master of
Science degree and focus your coursework in one of
seven different emphasis areas:
- General Special Education
- Developmental/Cognitive Disabilities
- Educational Strategist
- Autistic Spectrum Disorders
- Emotional Disturbance
- Learning Disabilities
- Early Childhood Special Education
".UND Continuing Education [is] a great
help to students such as me, who live in
the 'hinterlands' of rural North Dakota.
In my case, we live in the extreme southwest
portion of the state. I wouldn't have been
able to get my Master's in Education in May
2006 unless it was for the great program
UND offers. Rhame School
district reorganized with Bowman
and the newly reorganized school district
is the Bowman County School
District ...without my recent UND
Masters - Special Education Strategist, I
wouldn't have a job! Let alone be able to
truly follow my dreams...I know it sounds
corny but it's true."
