The School of Education offers graduate programs that prepare students to become teachers of the Blind and Visually Impaired. Graduates of the Blind and Visually Impaired program will be prepared to teach learners who are blind or visually impaired in diverse PreK-12 settings including residential schools for the blind, classroom programs and itinerant teaching settings in public and private schools.
