M.S. in Special Education

Kansas State University prepares special education teachers at the graduate level in a cross categorical program with two areas of specialization: adaptive special education and functional special education. These programs have been approved for special education endorsement by the Kansas State Department of Education.

Students pursuing a master's degre in special education are required to complete requirements for full endorsement in at least one area of specialization. However, when feasible, it is advisable to plan programs leading to endorsement in more than one specialization area. A minimum of 30 hours of academic credit comprising an appropriate program of study must be approved early in the student's program by the student's graduate committee and the Graduate School. The minimum requirements presented on these pages are helpful guidelines but students must consult their assigned advisors to plan an appropriate program of study.
