Welcome to SOU School of Education Special Education Programs!
Thank you for your interest in the Southern Oregon University Special Education Programs. We believe the programs we offer will provide the breadth and depth of preparation, strong knowledge base, and extensive field-based application to produce highly qualified special educators. The programs we currently offer are:
- SPED Preliminary Teaching License Program for those seeking the Oregon Preliminary teaching license with the endorsement in Special Education
- SPED Added Endorsement Program for currently licensed teachers seeking to add the Special Education endorsement. A Masters degree in Education can also be a part of this program.
The field of special education is an exciting and expanding profession, and the need for trained professionals to serve those with exceptionalities is greater than ever. Of course, the demands made on those in the profession are greater than ever as well. We feel our candidates are among the best prepared to meet those demands.

Contact us if we can be of service as you prepare your application. Your academic record, test scores, the quality of your essays, experience with children with exceptionalities, and your recommendations will be major factors in the selection process.
Thank you again for your interest. We look forward to meeting you and wish you the greatest of success in your career aspirations.
