I'm interested in pursuing a degree in special education and want to stay in the Northeast. Does anyone know which colleges have the best programs for special education degrees here?
There are several respected colleges in the Northeast where you could pursue a special education degree. Here are a few options:
1. Boston College (Chestnut Hill, MA) - Their Lynch School of Education and Human Development is highly regarded and offers both a Bachelor's and Master's in Special Education.
2. Syracuse University (Syracuse, NY) - The School of Education at Syracuse offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Inclusive Special Education.
3. University of Connecticut (Storrs, CT) - The Neag School of Education offers rigorous special education programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
4. Teachers College, Columbia University (New York, NY) - Their special education program is top-tier, although it is primarily oriented towards graduate students.
5. University of New Hampshire (Durham, NH) - It offers a well-regarded dual degree program in general and special education.
Remember, the 'best' college will depend on what you're looking for aside from academics - such as size, cost, and extracurricular opportunities. It's important to research each of these colleges further and consider visiting their campuses to see which is the right fit for you.
