Early Childhood: Teachers are licensed to teach infants and young children from birth through age 6. Programs may be delivered in the children's homes or in special or integrated preschool environments.
Modified: Teachers are licensed to teach students with mild disabilities. Such students have traditionally been served in resource rooms for some part of their education. Currently, most of these children are taught in inclusive settings in the general education classroom. NOTE: This program can be taken completely online. There are also courses taught on campus with online support for students who prefer not to take it online.
Comprehensive: Teachers are licensed to teach students with moderate, severe, and profound disabilities. Such students have traditionally been served in full-time special classes.

The program includes course work in students with special needs as well as best practice in evidenced based methodologies. In addition, courses in consultation and collaboration, computer technology, assessment, behavior management, inclusion, and trends and issues in Special Education are offered. The degree program is designed to prepare students to meet competencies for Tennessee licensure.
