Inclusive Education Programs

Inclusive Early Childhood Special Education Teacher Preparation Program
This B.S. degree program is a dual program between the School of Education and the College of Human Ecology—with the School of Education as the home school. This program provides you with the professional background you need—a solid core of liberal arts distribution coursework and a concentration in child and family studies from the College of Human Ecology. A cornerstone of IECSE is the extensive and varied series of field experiences it offers. Our Syracuse program is unique, coordinating your coursework with fieldwork in the schools as early as your first semester of study. Many schools and childcare centers in the Syracuse area are at the forefront of inclusive education. Through our close partnerships with local schools and early childhood centers that welcome all students, and with our wide network of urban, suburban, and rural school affiliations, we provide a broad range of opportunities for getting the most out of field experiences.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Program requirements include liberal arts skills, a concentration in child and family studies, and professional coursework. The program typically requires about 137 credits. The length varies and can be more than 137 credits, depending on the student’s skill background, language completion and other choices made by the student. In most cases, students enroll for more than 15 credits in a semester and/or take summer courses (at SU or other colleges) to complete the degree within four years. Therefore, prospective students not already enrolled in the School of Education are encouraged to consult with the School of Education as early as possible.

Note: Because of the professional education sequence, the study abroad semester for students completing in four years must be spring of the junior year.

Inclusive Elementary and Special Education Teacher Preparation Program 
This innovative program is designed to prepare graduates for careers in classrooms (grades 1-6) that serve an increasingly diverse student population. In addition to breadth in liberal arts (including multicultural social science and humanities) and depth in a liberal arts area, students take professional courses that integrate within them material on children with both typical and “special” needs who come from diverse cultural backgrounds. Supervised field experiences take place throughout the program at a variety of Syracuse area settings, and include placements in schools that are at the forefront of inclusive education.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Program requirements include liberal arts skills, a concentration or major of no less than 30 credits in an approved liberal arts and sciences area, and professional coursework. The program typically requires between 128 and 139 credits. The length varies and can be more than 139 credits, depending on the student’s skill background, the chosen liberal arts concentration or major, and other choices made by the student. In most cases, students enroll for more than 15 credits in a semester and/or take summer courses (at SU or other colleges) to complete the degree within four years. Therefore, prospective students not already enrolled in the School of Education are encouraged to consult with the School of Education as early as possible. Please note that in choosing courses in the distribution areas below, students must keep their choice of liberal arts concentration or major in mind, including required number of upper division courses, and, whenever possible, choose courses that can also be used toward that concentration or major.

Students’ progress is reviewed several times through the program against specific proficiencies and other assessment criteria. Students must successfully meet all criteria of a Pre-Block I review process outlined on a checklist available from Academic and Student Services, 270 Huntington Hall. Because these criteria include grades in courses typically completed in the first years, students should become familiar with this checklist early in their study. Reviews also take place to determine eligibility to enter subsequent blocks.
