The doctoral program in special education administration is available to experienced professional educators and human services professionals who meet admission requirements for this program. Applicants must have a master's degree in special education, deaf education, or human services. This program is not for applicants seeking an advanced degree in business administration. It is very important to know that this program does not result in students getting professional certification from a state department of education. The program of study for each student is designed in cooperation with a Program Advisory Committee (PAC) composed of faculty members and the student. The student selects his or her own PAC. A minimum of two members must be from the Department of Administration and Supervision, while other members may be from outside the department. The department has established a consortium-like agreement with the University of Arizona's Ph.D. program in special education and rehabilitation. This program allows doctoral students from both institutions to take a semester of coursework at each other's campuses with no additional charge in fees or tuition. The department also has a joint-degree master's program with the University of New Hampshire at Plymouth, N.H., in Special Education Administration.
