This graduate-level endorsement program for preparing teachers to work with students with special education needs ages 5-21 years is designed for individuals who already have a current teaching license in early childhood or elementary/secondary education and do not require additional practicum hours to meet the state requirements for an added endorsement. Colorado does not require practicum hours for an added endorsement. The candidate is required to pass all state-required licensure exams prior to applying for a special education added endorsement. The program consists of the required courses specified in the student's program of study.

Federal student loans are not currently available to students who are pursuing a CO state license (initial or additional) through UNC's stand-alone, graduate level licensure programs without being simultaneously enrolled in a Masters, Specialist, or Doctoral program.
