The master's degree program in special education provides advanced graduate preparation for general education teachers seeking Teacher of Students with Disabilities licensure. Applicants are required to have a New Jersey standard instructional certificate or a Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing (CEAS).

Coursework addresses the instructional needs of students with mild and moderate disabilities. The 36-credit program is composed of a special education core (21 credits); a learning, cognition, and development (LCD) requirement (3 credits); educational statistics, measurement, and evaluation courses (6 credits); and special education electives (6 credits).

The special education core develops competencies in the assessment and remediation of students with learning disabilities, collaborative teaching/consultation skills, and knowledge about New Jersey special education law.
