Online Exceptional Student Education – Learning & Language, BS

Prepare to support students with disabilities inside and outside school settings.

Make an impact on your life and the lives of others through a career in special education. A fulfilling and enriching field, exceptional student education involves working with students with disabilities, and our noncertificate learning and language track helps prepare you to pursue an educational career outside of the traditional school setting.

With a shortage of well-qualified professionals, career demand for those seeking to work with students with special education requirements continues to grow both in Florida and across the country. Through UCF Online, you’ll be given the opportunity to expand your knowledge and gain valuable skills that will help open professional opportunities for employment with nonprofits that serve persons with disabilities, as well as nontraditional education agencies that serve students with disabilities. Those interested in teaching can align specialization courses to meet state requirements and apply for certification after graduating.

Our fully online learning and language track in the bachelor of science program is flexible and convenient, and with courses that cover language development and communication disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), child and adolescent development, and ethical and legal concerns, you’ll graduate from the program ready to dive into a rewarding career. And with a practicum that gives you the opportunity to work with a student from your own community, you’ll be provided with real-world experience to take your knowledge from the classroom direct to the students you’ll support.
