Undergraduate Special Education Electives

Students may elect to take some special education courses while working on their undergraduate degree in early childhood education, elementary education, or secondary education. All special education courses taken at the undergraduate level will apply to BSU's graduate EBD or SLD special education licensure programs.

NOTE: Special education electives DO NOT substitute for a specialty area for elementary education majors. These courses should appear on Graduation Plans as electives.
