Autism Spectrum Disorder (Graduate Certificate)

Beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year (Spring 2021), the Autism Spectrum Disorder Graduate Certificate program will no longer be accepting new students. Current students will continue to have access to the same high-quality education and resources until they graduate.

This program will serve the professional development needs of a wide variety of individuals, including:

1. parents of children with ASD;
2. special and general education teachers and administrators; speech-­language pathologists, occupational therapists, behavioral consultants, recreation therapists; and
3. graduate students in other University majors such as sociology or psychology.

The coursework for the graduate certificate consists of 12-15 credits from the following required and elective course offerings. Highly qualified individuals may petition for permission to waive a required course. Applicants are urged to schedule an appointment with the program coordinators to develop their individualized course of study.
