NC State's Special Education program equips students for success in various aspects of teaching and support services for individuals with disabilities. The curriculum covers essential areas including instructional methods, student assessment, behavior management, and leadership development for working with students who have high-incidence disabilities. Our distinguished faculty delivers top-tier instruction while fostering leadership skills and maintaining rigorous academic expectations. The program offers two graduate pathways: the Master of Education (M.Ed.) for licensed educators and the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) for those entering the field.
The M.Ed. program is designed for currently licensed teachers, particularly those interested in working with students who have specific learning disabilities (SLD), intellectual disabilities (ID), or emotional disturbances (ED). This degree also serves professionals seeking advanced special education knowledge without pursuing licensure. NC State's Special Education graduates are highly sought after by educational institutions and service organizations throughout the region.
