Five Minnesota universities (Bethel, Bemidji, Duluth, Moorhead and St. Cloud) collaborate to provide a graduate level license preparation program to prepare teachers of Minnesota students who are blind or visually impaired. This program was launched in 2003 and is currently preparing its third cohort of students. We also maintain a list of persons interested in Cohort IV, which probably will begin coursework in spring semester 2011.

The Minnesota Collaborative Preparation Program for Teachers of the Blind or Visually Impaired has a webpage on the Metro ECSU website. This is the link to the BVI teacher preparation webpage:
