Program Overview

Program Description:

The Master of Science in Exceptional Student Education (ESE) with a concentration in Varying Exceptionalities is designed for students who wish to obtain a teaching certification in the state of Florida. The purpose of this program of only 36 credits of coursework is to prepare culturally sensitive educators to respond to the special and unique needs of children with exceptionalities in grades K-12.

Albizu University’s (AU) unique Master’s in Exceptional Student Education program design integrates the study and understanding of human behavior and sensitivity toward culturally diverse populations. It emphasizes psychological principles to better prepare teachers for the demands of teaching in a multicultural setting or classroom. A highlight of the M.S. ESE program is the completion of an action research capstone course in which the student uses instructional strategies, methodologies, curriculum development, educational technology, and behavior management and assessment to produce changes in the context of an educational environment under the supervision of a faculty mentor.
