Help Students with Special Needs Transition to Daily Life with Liberty’s Graduate CTE Licensure Certificate

As students with special needs complete their education, they meet new challenges in transitioning to adult life. With specialized skills in career and technical education (CTE), educators can help these students prepare to thrive as independently as possible. Liberty University’s online Graduate Certificate in CTE Transition and Special Needs can equip you to help these students and gain add-on licensure endorsement to enhance your career.

With a short 12-credit-hour course sequence, you can add to your teaching skill set and gain an add-on endorsement for special education in as little as a year. You can also transfer these courses into a master’s degree such as the MEd in Curriculum and Instruction – General Education at a later time, so you can use these new skills for your career and leave the door open to a future degree. Liberty’s Graduate Certificate in CTE Transition and Special Needs is a practical and fast way to get advanced special education training to help students with special needs.

To view educational requirements and whether a specific program aligns with the licensure requirements for your state, please review our licensure/certification requirements webpage.

Please note: Because this program is designed to fulfill licensure requirements for an add-on endorsement in special education, admission to this program requires that you hold current initial teaching licensure issued by the Virginia Department of Education in elementary education, middle grades education, or secondary education. If you hold licensure in another state, you may apply for reciprocity in Virginia.
