The COE is home to 3 academic departments, 14 academic degree

tenure-track, instructional career, and research career faculty are
devoted to inspiring and mentoring the approximately 1,500

of educational and social science leaders. The COE faculty, staff,

millions of children in thousands of schools across the country and
the world.

Our faculty, staff, and students also have a common drive: A spirit

more equitable, educated, and healthy tomorrow.

Diversity and inclusion are core values at the College of
Education. Our goal at the College of Education is to set our
graduates on career-long paths to purposeful, reflective, creative,

a thread that runs through our majors and programs while focusing
on critical and effective pedagogies. We are committed to building
and sustaining an inclusive and equitable working and learning
environment for all students, staff, and faculty. We believe every
member of our college contributes to the enrichment of our college
community by exposing us to a broad range of ways to understand and
engage with the world, identify challenges, and discover, design,
and deliver solutions.

The Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences is one of
three academic departments in the College of Education (COE). It is
comprised of four major programs: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA),

(SPSY), and Special Education (SPED). The Department offers degrees
from undergraduate to master's and doctoral, as well as licensure
and endorsement programs. The Special Education and Clinical
Sciences Department is involved in collaborative efforts among all
COE departments and institutes to support research across the
College, outreach activities, and core requirements for the
master's, education specialist, and doctoral programs.
