The Program
The master’s program in Transition Special Education (TSE) prepares professionals as change agents in teaching, leadership and support roles that assist youth with disabilities and youth at-risk to make successful transitions through high school to post-secondary education, employment and independent adulthood.
 The Transition Special Education (TSE) Program incorporates a number of different emphases. One is designed to develop skills and concepts needed by professionals in school- and community-based roles in career and technical education and secondary transition services. Another area of emphasis is initial teacher licensure. We prepare Transition Special Education (TSE) Program students for licensure with specializations in emotional and behavioral learning disabilities, non-categorical services, and dual licensure in special education and content area teaching (i.e., math, English, social studies, science and English as a Second Language).
The Transition Special Education (TSE) Program is designed in partnership with area public schools and community agencies, and the curriculum reflects an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach that emphasizes linking school, community and post-secondary systems.
Each partnership offers intensive professional practice through supervised internships in school and community-based settings.
The Transition Special Education (TSE) Program encourages student involvement in research, scholarship, publishing and leadership activities as adjuncts to their program of study.
