Special Education – Certificate Program for All Teacher Education Majors (Certificate)

As part of a 4-year degree, teacher education students at MSU-Bozeman can take classes to enhance their ability to teach all students effectively. By adding one class per semester, students can complete the requirements for a special education teaching certificate.
This program is open to all MSU teacher education majors and provides eligibility to apply for a PK-12 special education teaching license upon successful completion of the 24-credit curriculum. Students will gain hands-on practice in local schools, working with diverse learners and applying evidence-based strategies. Coursework includes innovative practices in behavior management, collaboration and transition, special education teaching methods, assessment, and more.
