Students become part of a diverse learning community which prepares future educators for our global environment. Throughout their program, students receive personal attention from advisors in both their content area and the general education program. The small special education (SPE) class size fosters connected educator learning experiences and provides students individualized attention and support. Students in the program can also take advantage of educator networking opportunities, mentorship by Benedictine graduates, and opportunities to participate in and present at professional conferences and meetings. Education faculty work closely with the Academic Support Center to prepare and assist students in securing teaching positions upon graduation.
