Curriculum for BSEd in special education

• Cognitive Impairment, K-12
• Autism Spectrum Disorder

Clinical Experiences

In addition to classroom experiences, students will engage in multiple clinical experiences at varying points throughout the program. Clinical courses are co-requisites with methods courses, allowing students to engage in real-world application of the content they learn in courses. In their final semester in the program, students will engage in full-time student teaching, during which they will take the lead in a middle school classroom environment for an extended period of time. Students will be supported by cooperating teachers, university supervisors, and the clinical office during their clinical experiences. Students are required to complete an application for all clinical courses the semester prior to enrolling in a clinical course.

Admission requirements

Undergraduate students entering Wayne State University, either from high school or transferring from other accredited universities or colleges, are admitted to the program as a pre-major. At this time, students begin taking foundational education coursework in the Teacher Education Division. Students are then required to apply for admission to the professional program. Level two admission requirements include successful completion of year 1 and year 2 coursework. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher by program completion to earn a degree in Special Education and to be eligible for a Michigan Standard Teaching Certificate.
