Learning and Instruction
The Department of Learning and Instruction offers two exciting and unique programs at the credential/master’s and doctoral levels:

- The Special Education Program offers the mild/moderate education specialist credential with the option of a master's degree. This program prepares candidates to teach diverse K-12 learners with mild/moderate disabilities in urban schools.

- The Learning and Instruction Doctoral Program emphasizes theories of instruction and learning that inform educational practices in a variety of settings, including K-12 and higher education, administration, consulting, and the allied health professions.

Both programs share the conviction that instructional decisions must be grounded in the best social evidence. The overriding goal is to prepare graduates who will contribute to, and make use of, the ever-changing knowledge base in learning and instruction.
