Bachelor of Science in Education, Special Education

Special education teachers are an in-demand career field, oftentimes with twice as many job openings as applicants. Special education teachers are vital in helping
students with diverse physical, emotional, and learning needs reach their full potential. Georgia Southern University’s special education degree program prepares educators to
support these students in inclusive and resource settings, providing them with the skills to make a meaningful impact in general education classrooms and through targeted
pull-out interventions. 
 

The B.S.Ed. Special Education program has two-degree delivery options: online and hybrid. Students enrolled in either track are first admitted to the Special Education B.S.Ed. Professional Studies Track (Non-Certification Track). Upon meeting B.S.Ed. teacher education admission requirements at the completion of the Field of Study
coursework, students will be admitted to the certification track.

Admission requirements for students just completing high school are hosted on the University Admissions Page.

Transfer student information is hosted on the Transfer Student Admission page.

Adult and non-traditional students who have been out of high school for at least five years or your high school class graduated at least five years ago can find admission information detailed here.

Be sure to read all of the Academic Renewal Policy if you were previously enrolled in a University System of Georgia school and are returning to finish your degree.
