Endorsement Program in Special Education (Certification: Teacher of Students with Disabilities)

Please visit the website.

This program is available to individuals who possess a New Jersey Standard Instructional Certificate or a Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing. The program is not aligned to any specific degree program, does not lead to a degree of any kind, and must be completed exclusively through the Graduate School of Education.

If students are interested in taking an endorsement course offered at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, they must obtain special permission from the instructor.

The program requires 21 credits of Rutgers University graduate coursework but does not lead to a graduate degree. If the student later decides to apply to the master of education (Ed.M.) program in special education, he or she must formally apply to the master's program.
