Early Childhood Special Education - M.S.Ed.
 
 

The Master of Science in Education (M.S.Ed.) degree with concentration on early childhood special education focuses on issues and best practices in early childhood special education.  The program prepares individuals to work with young children with disabilities and their families in inclusive, collaborative, and natural environments. Graduates will be eligible for the State of Florida Endorsement in Pre-Kindergarten Disabilities (Pre-K ESE). The course of study consists of 30 credits over five terms.

Funding Opportunity Available 

Next Cohort begins Aug. 2013
"Family-centered Special Educators for Early Childhood" (FAMSEEC)
 

Applications will be accepted through April 30, 2013 for the Cohort beginning in August 2013. Students who begin FAMSEEC in August 2013 must commit to taking 2-3 courses for 5 consecutive semesters.
 
Classes meet from 5 PM to 7:40 PM during the Fall and Spring terms and from 4:20 PM to 8:05 PM during the summer terms. The program accommodates working teachers by scheduling the two practicum experiences over two summers, each six weeks. Occasionally, some workshops and meetings may be scheduled on Fridays, but no class sessions.
 
A decision to accept an applicant is separate from a decision to provide that individual with a scholarship. Scholarships worth up to ninety percent (90%) of the University of Miami’s regular tuition are available for qualified applicants in Fall of 2013. Applicants who accept the 90% in scholarship must sign a two year Service Obligation contract with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to teach exceptional students. Applicants who do not want to agree to this contract may be eligible for scholarships worth up to sixty-six percent (66%) of regular tuition.
