In the Education Specialist credential programs, most of the courses are taught in the late afternoon and evening, with some programs offering courses during the day as well. Candidates will also collaborate with faculty to maintain consistency throughout the program. The Division also has several Counseling programs (Rehabilitation Counseling and Services, School-Based Family Counseling (including Marriage and Family Therapy), School Psychology, and Applied Behavior Analysis) - teaching in any of these programs may require specific training and/or credentials/certification/licensure.
