Secondary Dual Educator Program (SDEP)
The Graduate School of Education offers a dual licensure program in mid-level and/or secondary and special education that also includes a master’s degree. This full-time program of integrated coursework and field experiences is completed over six terms plus one summer session. Students are licensed to teach in their content area (e.g. math, social studies, English, science, etc.) at midlevel and/or high school as well as licensed as special educators. Students also receive additional instruction in supporting English language learners. Faculty from both the curriculum and instruction and the special education programs teach in the program. The program reflects the rapidly changing needs of America’s schools where a wide range of diverse learners are found in each classroom.
