Core Courses
The EI/SE II is a stand-alone licensure program for those without a teaching license. The 45 credit hour initial license/endorsement program includes a 15-credit early intervention core (including practica), a nine-credit special education core, a nine-credit early childhood education core and a 12-credit final supervised field experience (student teaching). The six-credits of practica in the early intervention core and the 12 credits student teaching experience will result in practical application knowledge with infants and toddlers, preschoolers and primary aged children.
Additional graduate coursework can be taken for standard or continuing licensure requirements and includes advanced coursework in special education and/or early childhood education as determined with an adviser and can be part of a Masters of Science in Education: Special Education program.
