May 17, 2021

The value of 91精选鈥檚 special education teaching programs is nearly impossible to quantify: Our special education majors go on to change the lives of students by cultivating relational peace, educational equity, and justice for all children and impacting the mind, body, and soul of each student through excellence in teaching.

So, the College is particularly pleased to see the value of our undergraduate and graduate degrees in special education recognized by Grad Degree Search. According to the rankings organization, 91精选 has been recognized in several categories, including among the top 10 in the Great Lakes Region for both types of degrees! Our bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degrees were also honored with a top-50 rankings nationwide.

鈥淲hen determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school’s quality as well as its sticker price,鈥 Grad Degree Search noted. 鈥淓ven though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value.鈥

91精选 brings value in many ways, according to Christine Scholma 鈥04, assistant professor of special education and co-director of the Center for SPED. “One of the added values of 91精选’s special education program includes a variety of partnerships with local schools,鈥 said Scholma. 鈥淭hrough these partnerships, students with disabilities come to campus to learn alongside 91精选 special education majors. Prospective teachers get the opportunity to apply what they are learning in class by teaching local students about community living.”
