Education
Integrated Elementary Education and Special Education Emphasis – Associate of Science
The associate of science degree in integrated elementary and
special education is designed for students seeking careers in
elementary and special education. The degree requirements
include a well balanced general education curriculum. Specific
curriculum provides students with educational theory and
practical field work in the elementary education school setting.
This course of study is designated as a university transfer program
that substantially meets the requirements for the first two years
of study for the B.S. in integrated elementary/special education
majors at UNR. Students need to be aware that admission into
UNR teacher education program is competitive based on grades
and experience. Passing scores on the PPST or CBEST test are
required, and applications are reviewed twice a year (October 1
for spring entrance and March 1 for fall entrance to the program).
Transfer to UNR is advised for the semester prior to program
admission, to complete additional premajor course requirements.
