Transition Specialist Graduate Certificate

This program is a four-course sequence that prepares secondary transition personnel to develop, implement, and evaluate secondary transition programs across disability categories, including program components related to student-focused planning and development, family collaboration, and interagency collaboration.

The Transition program is typically offered through a cohort model. Cohort members can be students enrolled in the Master of Science program in the Department of Special Education, combining core courses and electives, or non-degree seeking students taking the courses as a stand-alone non-degree program. In addition to the coursework, students seeking an LBS II with ISBE must pass the appropriate content test.
