 The Special Education program is a six-
semester course of study preparing upper level
students which may lead to a master's degree
and recommendation for initial teacher certifica-


tion in two of the following four areas: (1) Men-
tally Handicapped, (2) Specific Learning Disabil-
ities, (3) Emotionally Handicapped, and (4)
Physically Impaired. The program is divided
into two tracks. The first emphasizes severely
handicapping conditions and second, mildly
handicapping conditions. At the end of the first
semester of study in the Department of Special
Education, each student must select either Track
I or Track 2.
 Within the Special Education program, or
 prior to admission, students will complete at
 least 18 semester hours either in one or more of
 the following: Health Related Services, Fine
 Arts, Adaptive Physical Education, Sociology,
 Psychology, Computer Science, Foreign Lan-
 guage, Mathematics, Science, Social Science,
 English, Speech and Language, Geography,
 Agriculture, Recreation, Health Science Educa-
 tion. Students are required to submit First Aid
 and CPR certification before or after admission
 to the program. Students may take as many as 9
 of these 18 semester hours during their first two
 years of college and are encouraged to do so.
 Counseling is available in G 315 Norman Hall to
 assist students in their selections.
 Students who have successfully fulfilled the
requirements for a bachelor's degree at the end
of their fourth semester of studies will receive
the bachelor's degree without teacher certifica-
tion. At the completion of the fifth year of stud-
ies, students will receive recommendation for
initial certification in the areas of exceptionali-
ties completed. Students who have met the
admission requirements for the master's pro-
gram and who have successfully completed the
fifth year of studies will receive a master's
degree and recommendation for initial teacher
certification in two of the four areas listed
above. This also applies to students who com-
plete a post-baccalaureate program instead of
an M.Ed. program.
