Minor: Special Education
This minor requires a major in Elementary Ed!
The Special Education Minor will lead to K-6 certification and must be taken with the Elementary Education degree. FHSU does not offer a K-12 or 7-12 Special Education option at the undergraduate level. Elementary Education / Special Education students who want to add 7-12 Special Education to their license will need to do so at the graduate level through the Advanced Education Programs Department after they have finished their initial program. Secondary education students at FHSU can only pursue Special Education (K-12) licensure at the graduate level, after having received their initial teaching license.
