Thank you for your interest in our special education doctoral program. An extreme shortage of special education teachers has led to a high demand for professors who can prepare new teachers; all Ph.D. graduates from this Department in the last 10 years are employed in the field. Our program features strong coursework, extensive individual mentoring, opportunities to conduct and publish research, and supervised experience teaching university courses.

I am happy to announce that our department currently has a federally funded four-year (2000-2004) project that supports the education of doctoral students specializing in the use of information technologies to enhance the effectiveness of special education teacher preparation. If you would like more information, please visit the doctoral website and/or contact me.
