Special Education Administration Option
The Master of Arts in Special Education is based on an Information Literacy Model.

Competencies are acquired via completion of a nine (9) semester hour core of courses.
The administration option, designed for certified and experienced special education teachers, provides coursework and field-based experiences necessary to gain State of Michigan Central Office Administrator Certification and approval as either a Director of Special Education or a Supervisor of Special Education.
