Students will complete the necessary practicum and student teaching requirements for in-class training that will fulfill licensure requirements for special education and an additional focus in elementary, middle grades, or secondary education for the Virginia Department of Education. After obtaining licensure, students can apply for reciprocity in other states by meeting any additional steps for those states.
