Licensure Options
The TEAM-Multimultural Special Education Program offers two licensure options. The first option is the Alternative Resident Educator License (AREL) for grades K-12 Special Education. All coursework for the AREL license is embedded within the Master of Arts degree, which means the courses dual count both for licensure and for the graduate degree.
The second licensure option is designated for individuals who already possess a current Ohio teaching licensure in any subject or grade level. This second license also is embedded with the Master of Arts degree. However, individuals may select to only focus on the second special education license and not earn a Master's degree.
