- Field-based programs also provide opportunities for students and community members to develop skills in working with individuals who have exceptional needs.

The program utilizes volunteers and student interns from across campus.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Requirements - Minor - Education
The Special Education, Rehabilitation, and School Psychology Department offers courses for the Education Minor. This coursework emphasizes ability/disability studies consisting of 12 units or more of upper division special education courses. Courses in the minor offer students the opportunity to explore the issues of ability/disability and their relationship to education. Students develop a coherent introductory course of study in special education with a Special Education (EDS) Advisor and approval from the department Chair. Please check with the Department for more specific information.
Credentials - Education Specialist
Note: All students in the Special Education Program, Credential and Master's, must meet with an advisor before and during the first semester of enrollment for program advisement. Those who do not may be administratively considered for disenrollment.
Programs offered lead to Certificates of Eligibility and/or the Preliminary Credential in three specialties:
- Education Specialist: Teaching Credential Program: Early Childhood Special Education
- Education Specialist: Mild/Moderate Disabilities Specialist (M/M) and
- Education Specialist: Moderate/Severe Disabilities Specialist (M/S).
All above specialties comply with regulations and standards as issued by SB2042 and AB1059 (English Language Authorization).
University and California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) approved
program options also allow candidates to pursue the M/M or M/S specialty concurrently
with the SB2042 Multiple Subject Credential. Another approved program allows
candidates to add an ECSE Certificate to existing Clear M/M, M/S or other California Special Education Specialist credentials. For additional information
regarding the ECSE Certificate, please contact the ECSE Coordinator or
Department office.
As required by CCTC, all special education credential programs reflect two levels of training:
- Preliminary - programs prepare candidates as beginning teachers for children and youth with disabilities who receive services in a variety of settings; Sacramento State specialist credential programs emphasize services in inclusive settings. Programs all have internship options as described below. The M/M and M/S credentials prepare candidates to work in a variety of settings with and on behalf of children and youth with disabilities from kindergarten through grade 12. Candidates interested in working with infants and young children with disabilities - and with their families - should pursue the ECSE credential.
- Professional Clear - programs are designed to induct beginning special education teachers into the profession through on-the-job support, professional development, and additional university training. This credential can be obtained through our campus College of Continuing Education (CCE) or county/district BTSA offices.
All credential programs undergo continual review and change; current requirements are available from the EDS Department Office. All candidates are required to seek advisement regarding credential coursework and must complete a program advisement plan. Candidates may take prerequisites and up to six units with permission without screening for admission; candidates who continue without advisement and/or admission may be disenrolled.
Admission Procedures
Admission to all Preliminary Programs is coordinated by the Teacher
Preparation and Credentials Office (Eureka Hall 437). With the exception
of the ECSE Credential, admission requirements for Education Specialist
Programs are the same as for other preliminary teaching credentials at Sacramento State.
Those requirements are described within this catalog under the Department
of Teacher Education. Candidates interested in the Education Specialist
Programs are also urged to seek early advising from special education faculty.
Special Education Internships
All Preliminary Education Specialist programs at Sacramento State have been approved by CCTC as internship programs. In order to be eligible for an Intern Education Specialist Credential, candidates must (a) have been admitted and cleared all admission requirements for the credential program; (b) have received the recommendation of a faculty member; (c) have received an offer of employment from an employer; and (d) be pursuing an internship with a district/school that has a written internship agreement with Sacramento State/EDS.
Notes:
- Candidates working under an Education Specialist Internship Credential must concurrently fulfill the requirements of the credential program and the internship appointment.
- Special Education Programs are in the process of revision. Please see Department office for current program requirements.

Requirements - Master of Science in Counseling - Vocational Rehabilitation
The mission of the program is that every adult person with disabilities should have opportunity to independently function in our society. To this end, the program curriculum is structured to include those didactic and experiential activities which will prepare the graduate to function in a professional manner providing services to enhance maximum daily living, including employment, which is commensurate with the person's abilities and interests.
The Master of Science in Counseling (Vocational Rehabilitation) offers students the opportunity to gain several specialized skills for working with persons with disabilities. This program is accredited by the Council on Rehabilitation Education. Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors work in a wide variety of settings including community agencies, private agencies, enabling centers on college campuses, and state agencies. Their general function is to assist persons with disabilities to overcome deterrents to vocational success by means of counseling, training, and placement in suitable occupational areas.
The program includes training in counseling techniques; the use of medical, psychological, and occupational information; and the impact of disabilities on human behavior. In addition, the skills involved in finding and intake, vocational evaluation, restoration, training, job placement, and follow-up are taught. Independent living, assistive technology and disability rights are topic areas emphasized in the program.
Strengths of the program include outstanding field placements, the availability of specialized training in working with specific populations of persons with disabilities such as the hearing challenged, and individualized programs of study designed to meet the unique capabilities of each student. The faculty, through their extensive experience in the field at local, state, and national levels, and through their relationship with vocational rehabilitation counselors in the field, provide students with a program that will meet their future needs as vocational rehabilitation counselors.
