The dual certification program requires a major in elementary education and 25 credit hours in special education. The program leads to certification in elementary grades 1-6 and generic special education grades 1-8. This Maryland-approved program meets certification requirements in other states. Students are advised, however, to consult certification requirements in states of interest early in their study. Courses include: EDUC 100, 202, 206, 210, 228, 240, 313, 330, 331, 335, 340, 440, 495 and SPED 308, 339, 411, 433, 434 and 480; MATH 108 and 109; and three courses in general science (GSCI 101, 102 and either 120 or 105).
