About Master of Arts - Teaching - Inclusive Education

The Master of Arts in Teaching prepares students to become educators who want to shape the future of California’s youth, families, and communities by becoming an influential elementary, middle, or high school teacher. The MA Teaching program is approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and is specifically designed to prepare educators to meet the needs of California’s diverse student population, emphasizing language development, cultural diversity, and humanistic approaches to the learning process.

The University of La Verne designed the Master of Arts in Teaching, Inclusive Education degree for individuals seeking to earn a Preliminary Mild/Moderate Education Specialist Credential and Multiple and Single Subject candidates who plan to teach students with mild or moderate special education needs, including learning disabilities, emotional and behavior disorders, mild intellectual disabilities, traumatic brain injury, other health impaired, and autism spectrum disorders.

The program encompasses 45 credit hours, along with fieldwork, and can be completed in about two years with summer and January terms. Students who have completed a bachelor’s degree and want to gain a broader understanding of special education may benefit from the blend of theory-based and hands-on learning. Concentrations further emphasize skills necessary for teaching in specialized and inclusive general education settings.

Within this framework, the Master’s degree in Inclusive Education:

  • trains students to tackle the challenges of today’s diverse K–12 classroom and create a truly inclusive environment where students achieve their goals and gain a sense of belonging;
  • provides students with the skills to create an intellectually-stimulating setting meeting Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) expectations;
  • instructs students in best practices for teaching educational or subject topics to students with mild to moderate disabilities;
  • prepares students to develop special education programs and assess the specific needs of students with ASD; and
  • helps students get ready for their initial teaching license through a blend of educational theories, methodologies, current classroom trends, and hands-on experience.
