Gifted Education
The M.A.Ed. program in gifted education is designed for teachers or administrators who already hold certification in early, middle, or secondary education, or endorsement in at least one area of special education. The program is structured to provide students with understanding of the unique cognitive/affective needs of gifted students, curriculum and instruction to meet those needs and the processes for developing appropriate programs and services in the context of general or special education.
