The early childhood and special education major offers engaging academic courses and hands-on experiences that will prepare you to be an effective teacher.
The field of special education is rapidly changing. There is a critical need for teachers who can meet the cognitive, behavioral, social, emotional, linguistic and cultural needs of each student in the classroom.
This specially designed major gives you the opportunity to become certified to teach both early childhood (pre-K through grade 3) and special education (birth through grade 3). This comprehensive program offers:
- innovative and dynamic course work that helps you develop successful instruction and classroom management strategies
- transformative, real-world experiences through internship placements, offered in multiple school districts throughout the state of Maryland
- experienced faculty-mentors committed to your success
- a supportive cohort of fellow Towson University students studying early childhood-special education
- collaborative partnerships with families, communities and agencies
The Center for Professional Practice connects students to clinical internships. The major will prepare you for a career as an early childhood classroom teacher or as an infant/primary special education teacher.
