Do students have to get a Masters Degree to work as a teacher of deaf and hard of hearing children?
No. Nearly all of our students complete the Master of Arts degree, the 36-units of advanced coursework, of which are mostly credential coursework required for the Educational Specialist: DHH Option credential. In order to receive a M.A. degree along with the teaching credential, the students take three classes, and a culminating experience is required of them. The culminating experience involves taking written comprehensive examination, or undertaking a thesis or project.
