Is a major in deaf education and a combined major in deaf studies and elementary edu. the same thing?

Clifford Riggleman: The IUP Program is much more suited to preparing a teacher to work with the deaf and hard-of-hearing population. It is very specific to that unique position as opposed to the combined degree at Towson. IUP has a great reputation for its education degree programs, so you won't be making a bad choice. I hire special education teachers in my current position and I know the state universities in PA do a very good job of preparing students for the classroom. They build-in a great deal more time for students to observe and work in real classrooms as opposed to waiting for student teaching....Show more

Jude Kennelly: North Carolina: community college of Piedmont East Carolina college Gardner Webb college South Carolina: Spartanburg Technical college Florida: Flagler college TX: Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf Deaf can choose any college the position they prefer: college of South Carolina someplace 2-3 hundred and sixty 5 days college in Mi! nnesota Mercer college in Georgia Southern Methodist college in SC Pennsylvania State college

Alexander Villas: I think either of those programs would qualify you for the job as a teacher for the deaf. I know at Towson people looking to be a teacher have combined majors with education and whatever subject they wanted to teach. For example, someone wanting to be a high school math teacher would major in math and secondary education. Towson has a very reputable education program in its surrounding region.
