At Â黨ÌìÃÀÐÇ¿Õ, our Bachelor of Science in Special Education program goes beyond just teaching—it’s about fostering an inclusive mindset and becoming a champion for students of all abilities. We believe that teaching is more than a career—it’s a calling. With our strong ties to ten local districts across Lackawanna County, PA, and a commitment to ethical leadership, students graduate fully prepared to lead their own classroom and make a lasting impact. The Special Education program is designed to offer flexibility, with opportunities for dual certification and specialized coursework in areas like autism spectrum disorders, behavior management, and assistive technology.
What sets Marywood’s program apart is our focus on real-world application. From the first year, our students engage in meaningful, hands-on experiences in local schools, gaining practical skills in diverse classroom settings. Special Education majors work alongside master educators in both urban and rural environments, ensuring that they're equipped to meet the needs of students with varying challenges and learning styles. Special Education majors won’t just be learning how to teach; they’ll be learning how to transform lives, one student at a time.Â
