Program for Master of Arts Degree in Special Education
Educational Therapy (36 units)
The Educational Therapy Master of Arts Program is designed for students who wish to combine educational and therapeutic approaches for evaluation, remediation, case management, and communication/advocacy on behalf of children, adolescents and adults with learning disabilities or learning problems. The program aligns with the Association of Educational Therapists (AET) course requirements for the Associate level of membership. In addition, up to 100 of AET’s required supervisory hours are met by an internship, the culminating experience in the program.
