Overview

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, while includes the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip them with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework. The Department of Special Education offers a major and minor in Special Education that emphasizes learning experiences in applied settings. Public and private schools, as well as a variety of non-school settings, provide students with the opportunity to combine academic training with practical experience. Candidates who earn the Bachelor of Education degree with a major in Special Education are prepared to work with individuals having mild to severe disabilities, such as learning disabilities, pervasive developmental disabilities, and behavior disorders. The major focuses on developing skills needed to function in a variety of classroom settings including but not limited to resource, self-contained, and inclusionary. The Special Education Department also prepares candidates who plan to work in non-school settings like clinics, workshops, homes, etc. Courses for those seeking Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst certification are also an option. The Special Education degree is also a great starting point for those seeking advanced degrees in behavior analysis, occupational therapy, speech and language, counseling, or school psychology.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
