Overview

The Joint Doctoral Program in Special Education prepares leaders in research, teaching, administration, and supervision for the variety of professional needs facing children, youth, and adults with disabilities. It integrates the resources of UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University (SFSU) and provides an opportunity for students to combine theoretical interests with applied practices in a broad spectrum of specializations within Special Education.
Students select an area of academic specialization in both special and general education. Faculty and program resources at both Berkeley and SFSU are used to develop advanced knowledge of theory and research in an area of exceptionality.
