My Courses

I decided to pursue a PhD in Education with an emphasis on Exceptional Student Education. While some of my graduate coursework did transfer, I need to complete a total of 54 credits (each course is worth 3 credits each). I am taking courses in three main "categories:" Fundamentals, Specialization, and Doctoral Research/Dissertation. The breakdown of courses is as follows:
