Degree and Program Requirements
The Department of Special
Education offers two options within the B.A. in Special
Education degree program. Option 1, offering dual certification
in special and elementary education, is designed to prepare
highly qualified special educators with maximum professional
flexibility in (a) elementary school settings, and (b) secondary
settings that provide services to individuals with severe
cognitive disabilities. Option 2 is designed for special
educators planning careers in secondary schools, and prepares
them to provide direct services in one or more content areas.
Either option results in the K-12 Idaho Generalist Endorsement
on the Standard Exceptional Child Certificate. Option 2 results
in an additional endorsement in one or more content areas.

Post-baccalaureate students seeking to become special
educators have several options, including a second
bachelor’s degree or graduate study. Prior to beginning
coursework, all students are strongly encouraged to meet
with a program advisor, supply unofficial transcripts
and other pertinent documents, and develop an
appropriate course of study. Students must apply for
admission at the outset, but may be permitted to enroll
in course work during the first semester while working
to satisfy admission requirements. Students will not be
permitted to enroll in upper-division certification
courses thereafter without being admitted into Teacher
