Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Special Education] From University of New Mexico

The Special Education Dual License Program is based on the belief that all children are valued members in the school community. The Dual License program prepares students to work with a diverse learning population and teaches strategies that are effective for all learners by providing:

• Diverse learning experiences
• One-on-support from experienced UNM supervisors
• Coursework that reflects real-life experience
• Supportive faculty members who have recent experience in classroom settings
• Consistent advising from faculty beginning pre-admission through to graduation

The state-of-the-art preparation is one of the few of its kind in the country that prepare teachers to be effective across the full continuum of educational settings for all students. During the two-year program, students complete coursework to earn a dual major in special education and elementary education while they gain a wealth of classroom experience and effective strategies for all learners. Graduate are eligible for New Mexico licensure in special education (PreK–12) and elementary education (K–8).
