The Master of Arts degree in education with a concentration in special education provides the professional educator with advanced knowledge and skills in special education.

The M.A. degree can include specializations in the following areas: autism, early childhood, developing gifted potential, mild/moderate support needs, extensive support needs, and school to adult transition. All programs must be approved by the graduate adviser. Although the M.A. degree is usually linked to a teacher credential, it is open to individuals with undergraduate degrees in a wide range of disciplines in consultation with the graduate adviser.
