Earn your advanced-certificate degree online
You will earn the same diploma as our on-campus students
This online program is designed for candidates who have a Master’s in Education and initial/professional certification in an area of general education from New York State.
Buffalo State University (Exceptional Education) offers a NYS approved program that prepares candidates to teach students with disabilities in grades PreK-12. This program leads to a recommendation for NYS certification for Students with Disabilities: All Grades (PreK-12). To receive certification, students must also pass the applicable New York State certification exams and fulfill other New York State certification requirements.
Teachers who already hold a valid special education certification should consider obtaining the All Grades SWD certification to allow them to work with students with disabilities in all grade levels, ages 3-21.
NYS faces a critical and ongoing shortage of certified special education teachers across nearly all grade levels. Increase your marketability; reach out for more information.
