Minor in Special Education
The minor in Special Education requires 21 semester credit hours. Students pursuing the minor in Special Education, who are not otherwise declared in a teacher certification-seeking degree plan, do not need to be admitted to the Educator Preparation program. They will, however, encounter prerequisite restrictions when attempting to register for their SPED minor courses since those courses require the ‘Teacher Certification Cohort’ as a prerequisite. In order to resolve this, those students will need to request prerequisite overrides each semester for each SPED course that they plan to register for by using the CI Department’s Prerequisite Override Request form. For more information contact the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
