Special Education (TSAP)
Offered at IU South Bend by School of Education.
About
This is a two-year plan for degree completion; it is only for students who transfer to IU from Vincennes University or Ivy Tech with an associate degree on the Indiana Transfer Single Articulation Pathway (TSAP) plan. The IU South Bend School of Education offers a P–12 Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in special education in mild intervention. The special education program is designed to prepare teacher education candidates to work with students with special needs who participate in the general education setting and/or special education setting. The program emphasizes the knowledge, dispositions, and skills required of special education teachers, and incorporates the performance standards of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). Elementary education and secondary education teacher candidates can simultaneously work toward special education licensure in developmental levels (K–6; 5–12 grades) by completing a series of courses in mild intervention.
