To earn a special education license after college, what do people usually major in as undergrads?
I am specifically interested in middle or high school, possibly emotional/behavioral disorders or learning disabilities. The college I attend does not have “special education” as an undergraduate major. i have read that most special ed license programs are at the graduate level and I haven’t seen too many colleges with undergrad special ed majors. A: Oh, they don’t? Well, special education is the major of choice for those sorts of jobs–so your best shot might involve transfer to a college that does offer such a major. As an alternative, do a normal education degree, focused on a secondary level discipline you enjoy (if it’s math or science, you enhance your employability), and then while supporting yourself as an educator, complete the master of education degree (which you’d be doing anyway) in special education, followed by a career re-focus.
