The Master of Education (M.Ed.) with a major in Special Education consists of course work in special education and a cognate or minor, depending upon the program of study. A student may pursue a master’s in generic special education, a master’s in special education with concentration, or a master’s in special education plus teaching certification.
Concentration areas include autism/applied behavior analysis, behavioral disorder/positive behavioral supports, and learning disabilities/inclusion. A student pursing a degree in special education can seek a Texas State certificate in autism, behavioral disorders/positive behavioral supports, or learning disabilities/inclusion. Certificate programs range from 18-21 semester hours, most of which are included in the master’s program.

History & Traditions
Founded in 1899 to prepare the best teachers in the Lone Star State, we have a legacy of preparing students to make an impact in the world, including Lyndon B. Johnson, the only U.S. president to graduate from a college in Texas. Our name has changed a few times, but our commitment to lifelong learning has never wavered.
Our Mission
Texas State University is a doctoral-granting, student-centered institution dedicated to excellence and innovation in teaching, research, including creative expression, and service. The university strives to create new knowledge, to embrace a diversity of people and ideas, to foster cultural and economic development, and to prepare its graduates to participate fully and freely as citizens of Texas, the nation, and the world.
Our Shared Values
In pursuing our mission, we, the faculty, staff, and students of Texas State University, are guided by a shared collection of values:
The Master of Education in Special Education program provides students with a depth of knowledge and breadth of skill in educating students with disabilities required of a "master teacher" or an advanced service provider.
The Master of Arts in Special Education-LBS I Program develops professionals who are new to teaching and those who are already licensed but seeking a master’s degree.
Prepares teachers to meet the specific needs of preschool, elementary, junior high, high school, and adult students at risk for or living with learning disabilities.
The inclusion model of delivering special education services in an urban environment is emphasized, but candidates will be prepared to work in self-contained environments as well.
The Special Education master’s program will prepare you to help exceptional students in kindergarten through 12th grade. You’ll also learn to manage teams, mentor colleagues, coach paraprofessionals and work closely with parents.
