Can I just master in Special Education


Can I just master in Special Education?
Is it possible to major in History and become a history teacher, then get a Master's in Special Education and also teach special ed? Or do you need to get a Bachelors degree in Special Ed to be certified?

I think it depends from state to state, and each educational institution. In California, I've found, you generally have to get credentialed in the subject before moving on to your Master's.

YES! You can major in anything you like, then get a masters in Special ed and get certified with that masters and teach IN ANY STATE, including california. Check the state where you live, here in Texas once you are certified in anything, like history, all you need to be certified in any other subject ( like special ed) is take the test for that subject and you are certified. You dont have to get an entire degree in something else just to teach it. Usually the masters will be needed when you want to move up in that area. Check with your states department of education. They will be able to answer ALL of your questions.
