The Department of Counseling, Special Education, and Educational Psychology offers programs for students wanting master’s degrees in special education, educational diagnostics, school counseling, and/or mental health counseling. We also have an undergraduate program that leads to special education certification. We offer many courses that students find interesting such as the assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse learners, learners with special needs, effective reading strategies for low performing learners, trauma therapy for individuals, crisis management for schools and organizations, and marriage and family therapy. We have the FAST TRACK program in Special Education and Educational Diagnostics for undergraduate students wanting to get a head start working toward a master’s degree.

While our degree options are plentiful, it is our faculty that makes the difference. Our instructors are student-oriented and nationally recognized experts in their fields. We are here to help you achieve your educational goals.

Students should consult the Graduate Catalog for information on degrees and programs in Educational Psychology and Special Services.
