The ability to advocate for and teach others will suit students well as a Central Michigan University special education major. Through this program, students will develop an expertise in inspiring children and young adults with learning, cognitive, physical, emotional and health needs. Students will gain life-changing experiences through student groups, community opportunities and CMU disABILITY Awareness events. They’ll be able to volunteer for the Special Olympic Summer Games each year on campus, or they can head to Traverse City for the Winter Games. All students become dually certified in special education and general education with an elementary or secondary focus.
