Special Education Post-Baccalaureate Licensure Program

MSU Denver’s post-baccalaureate licensure program in Special Education provides candidates with a case-based curriculum designed to prepare candidates to meet the needs of children and adolescents with mild to severe disabilities. This professional education sequence provides content that emphasizes developing effective decision-making in diverse contexts and leads to a Special Education Generalist license. Candidates who do not have a baccalaureate degree should pursue the Special Education undergraduate major. All candidates who enroll in the post-baccalaureate licensure program for Special Education Generalist must have an education psychology and math content prerequisite course. Candidates must see their special education advisors at least twice a year for information regarding program planning. The Generalist licensure exam must be passed prior to state licensure. All courses must have a grade of C- or better in order to count toward the Special Education Post-Bac program.
