Information2 Ph.D. in Education - Special Education
by Walden University
Most K-12 educators are strong advocates for improved services for
exceptional/disabled individuals. Unfortunately, resources for the
delivery of these services are often far less than schools and school
districts desire. At Walden, you will acquire the knowledge and skills
necessary to provide leadership in the special education field and to
better assist your own students in the self-actualization process
through The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership.
Emphasis is on services to exceptional/disabled individuals and to the
related areas of special education administration including law, finance
and ethics. Graduates hold leadership, administrative and teaching
positions in schools and school districts and research and teaching
positions at colleges and universities throughout the United States.
