The Master of Science in Special Education at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education is designed for individuals aiming to work with students with disabilities. The program offers tracks in Mild-to-Moderate Disabilities (leading to Maryland State teacher certification, grades 1–8 or 6–12), and Severe Disabilities (Applied Behavior Analysis or Autism Spectrum Disorders), with the latter not leading to teacher certification. The curriculum emphasizes legal issues, psychoeducational assessment, data-driven decision making, behavioral management, instructional programming, collaboration, and the application of evidence-based strategies across diverse educational settings. Candidates complete two internships, comprehensive exams, a culminating project or presentation, and Praxis II examinations for certification. Graduates are qualified to support diverse learners and collaborate with professionals and families in a variety of educational settings.
