A new master’s degree option will prepare graduates for K-12 cross-categorical special education licensure from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. This new Master of Applied Science in Assessment option will be available beginning this fall. The K-12 cross-categorical special education option replaces the option in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), which is being phased out. The deadline to apply for fall 2017 admission is July 15.
