Introduction: 

                                                                                                                           
       Welcome to the website of the Graduate Programs in Special Education at Fitchburg State college! FSC is one of only 7 institutions in Massachusetts accredited by NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Preparation). Faculty in the Special Education Department at FSC work closely with the Massachusetts Department of Education (DOE) and with local school districts to ensure that our graduates meet both licensure requirements and the needs of Massachusetts communities. Our current array of graduate programs reflect these partnerships. With substantial changes in MA teacher licensure going into effect in October 2003, we are in the process of revising some programs, and introducing others. During the 2003-2004 academic year, the following programs will be offered: 

Master's Program in Moderate Disabilities (Replaces "Clinical Program)

Master's Program in Severe Disabilities (Replaces "Clinical Program)

Reading Specialist (M.Ed. in Special Education)

Guided Studies - Professional Track or Individualized Track (non-licensure)
