RANK II (FIFTH YEAR) PROGRAM
32 Semester Hours Minimum
Purpose:
Admission
To be eligible for admission into any special education
non-degree program, a student must have the following:
- Minimum undergraduate GPA or
2.5 overall or in the last 60 hours of course work.
Certification Programs
Candidates pursuing special education certification or secondary
endorsement in Learning and Behavior Disorders,
Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education,
Moderate and Severe Disabilities and Deaf
and Hard of Hearing must hold at least provisional certification in
a teaching field. The certification options range from 37 to 52
semester hours. Rank II is earned at 32 hours while the certification
is awarded at the completion of the entire program. Additional hours
may apply toward a sixth year program (Rank I).
It is very important that candidates
seek early advisement from the department.
The Rank II programs follow
the guidelines approved for the College of Education in compliance with
state guidelines. However, one of the Professional Core courses,
EPY 816, is required by the department for a Rank II. These programs
are to be planned in advance with an assigned advisor in special education.
