The Department of Special Education at
Millersville University provides a variety of
professional opportunities for students
committed to the improvement of lifestyles
for children, youth, and adults with
disabilities.
Undergraduate students earning
the baccalaureate degree and majoring in
Special Education will receive a degree in Special Education N-12. They will be qualified
to teach students ages 3-21 who are determined eligible because of
one of the following exceptionalities:
- Brain Injured (BI)/Neurologically Impaired
- Learning Disabled (LD)
- Mentally Retarded (MR)
- Physically Handicapped and/or Health
Impaired (PH)
- Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED)
- Autism
- Multiple Disabilities
(Please note:
This program does NOT
certify for visually/hearing impaired or
communication disorders)
This certification offers
great flexibility for work in the special
education profession. It also presents a
significant challenge to our staff to insure
that our undergraduate students are competent
to begin teaching in any of these areas.
Millersville also has a
chapter of the Council for Exceptional
Children (CEC). CEC is the professional
organization for special educators. This
student group meets regularly and provides
many opportunities for you to get involved
with others interested in working with
students with special needs.
