Master of Arts in Special Education

Program Overview

Launching Lives of Purpose
Notre Dame de Namur University has long been recognized for the excellence of our programs in education. Presently, the NDNU education department offers two education specialist credentials: mild/moderate or moderate/severe. Both provide the option to add the master of arts in special education. Many of our alumni are active teachers and administrators in San Mateo County and throughout the peninsula. Personalized attention and individualized advising for students, field-oriented programs, and successful placement of credential graduates have characterized the teacher education program since its inception in 1953.

NDNU’s Education Specialist Credential with a Master of Arts in Special Education prepares students to teach in special education settings in public and private schools, K-12 and up to age 22. Mild/Moderate credential holders teach students in resource specialist programs, special day classes for learning disabilities, and some full inclusion students. Moderate/Severe credential holders will be able to teach students whose needs are more severe.
