The M.Ed. program is designed for students who have completed the undergraduate major in pre- special education at The Ohio State University or who hold degrees in academic areas other than education and now wish to prepare themselves to teach students with hearing, visual, or orthopedic impairments. The focus of the M.Ed. program of studies in Sensory and Physical Disabilities is on the preparation of teachers who have the knowledge and skills to understand the development of students with sensory impairments and to construct integrated and active learning experiences for these students who are placed in a variety of school settings but with particular emphasis on developmentally appropriate programs for students in inclusive settings. The program can usually be completed in four to five quarters of full-time study. Fieldwork and student teaching require that students be available during the day when schools are in session.
Students are responsible for arranging transportation to and from all field sites.
