Exceptional Student Education (ESE), also known as special education, is instruction individually designed to meet the academic, physical, cognitive and social-emotional needs of students with disabilities. Our goal is to assure that all students with disabilities are taught by caring, dedicated, highly qualified and knowledgeable ESE teachers.

We offer degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels as well as an undergraduate minor and five graduate certificates.
