Special Education Endorsement
WSU's Special Education Endorsement provides the skills and knowledge required for those who want to teach students with special needs at grades P-12. The endorsement courses are at the graduate level, except Sp Ed 301, and may be applied towards a master’s degree and/or the Professional Certification Program.
Those interested in the Special Education Endorsement program must follow standard WSU Graduate School and department admission procedures. Financial aid is available to students enrolled in five or more credits and who are applying those credits towards a graduate degree.
