Bachelor of Science [B.S] Special Education
Special Education teachers have the joy and the challenge of working with and forming relationships with students, their families and colleagues. The University of Oklahoma College of Education’s nationally recognized Special Education program works to ensure its graduates have the knowledge and the experiences needed to effectively teach students with special needs.
The Special Education curriculum is designed so that students can receive a Bachelor of Science degree in four years. Along with coursework, students complete over 400 mentored classroom hours prior to their student-teaching internship. During their sixteen-week internship, students observe, prepare and develop lesson plans, teach, and participate in all other Special Education teacher duties.
