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).

The 36-credit program is composed of a special education core (21 credits); a learning, cognition, and development requirement (3 credits); educational statistics, measurement, and evaluation courses (6 credits); and special education electives (6 credits).
