With licenses in both general and special education, you’ll be able to educate all children. Positions in Transition Planning and other possibilities exist as well. Additionally, students who obtain additional education may choose to pursue roles in educational administration.

The opportunities for my major – the dual pathway program (now Inclusive Education), the TESOL endorsement, and the urban cohort – all started adding to my resume, and I wasn’t even done with my freshman year.

Primary Ed/Special Ed ’27

As we move forward in education, classrooms are becoming more and more inclusive. And as an educator, I want to be prepared to help any type of child. For an incoming student wanting to be a part of the education program at Miami, I would say be prepared to think outside the box. It’s not just about making lessons plans. It’s not just about how am I going to control a classroom. It’s a lot more learning about why do I want to be in education, what impact do I want to make in the field of education.
