Thanks to the UNE Education Department, I had ample opportunities to implement and observe the impact of effective, research-based strategies with special education students in local schools. Engaging in special education coursework at UNE is immensely rewarding.

Because of the education component in my degree, I had various opportunities to experience hands-on-learning in local schools...This gives individuals the opportunity to explore different subject areas and grade levels.
