The goal of the Special Education Program is to prepare exceptional Professional Educators for today's schools. The Program of Special Education offers courses at the undergraduate and the graduate level that lead to degrees and/or licensure. The special education teaching programs are fully accredited by the National Council on Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Kansas State Department of Education. Course work is offered on campus as well as various sites in western Kansas. Coursework/programs are also offered through the Virtual College.

Teachers licensed in Special Education and/or English for Speakers of Other Languages are in high demand in Kansas and across the country.
