Special Education Credentials

The Special Education Credential Program offers Preliminary Education Specialist programs, Mild-Moderate Support Needs (MMSN), or Extensive Support Needs (ESN). At Sonoma State University, the Preliminary Education Specialist Program (ES) prepares special educators who provide effective education, respect, and individualization for individuals with disabilities (ages 5-22), and who are committed to ongoing professional growth and reflection in their careers.

The Education Specialist Credential Program also offers an Early Childhood Special  Education-Added Authorization (ECSE-AA) for teachers wanting to expand their existing special education credential to work with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
