Program Information

Degree Offered

Master of Education in Early Childhood Special Education

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The only graduate program in the Chicago area that blends the disciplines of early childhood education and special education, this innovative program prepares you to make a significant difference in the lives of young children with disabilities.

You’ll complete challenging hands-on field experiences and establish strong, collaborative relationships with children and their families. You’ll build learning partnerships with seasoned professionals in the field and integrate course work and field experiences within all your classes. And you’ll learn to integrate a family-centered philosophy into your work.

This is a 37-hour, two-year program. Classes are held on weekday evenings to accommodate your busy schedule. In small classes, you’ll work closely with your cohort members in classroom and study projects, and you’ll help one another maintain a sense of progress and achievement. And you’ll work face-to-face with a dedicated faculty advisor to create the schedule of courses that best fits your academic and professional goals.
