The College of Education (COE) is home to three academic departments, 16 academic degree programs, 14 research and outreach units, the HEDCO Institute, and the HEDCO Clinic. All academic departments house both graduate and undergraduate programs addressing the full range of issues present in educational and social systems. Our tenure and career non-tenure track faculty in each department are devoted to inspiring and mentoring the approximately 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students in the COE who will be the next generation of educational and social science leaders. The COE has a long record of developing widely adopted, evidence-based assessments and interventions used in both clinical settings and in school programs that serve millions of children in thousands of schools across the country and the world. Our faculty, staff, and students have one thing in common: A spirit of discovery and dedication to creating positive change with the goal of a more equitable, educated, and healthy tomorrow.
The Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences is one of three academic departments in the College of Education. It is comprised of four major programs: Applied Behavior Analysis Program (ABA), Communication Disorders and Sciences (CDS), School Psychology (SPSY), and Special Education (SPED). The Department offers degrees from undergraduate to master's and doctoral, as well as licensure and endorsement programs. The Special Education and Clinical Sciences Department is involved in collaborative efforts among all COE departments and institutes to support research across the College, outreach activities, and core requirements for the master's and doctoral programs.
The School Psychology NASP-accredited Education Specialist program is excited about our recent expansion to Portland providing opportunities to continue to engage with the cohort in Eugene as well as engage with the Ballmer Institute for Children's Behavioral Health. The Ballmer Institute is a Portland-based institute designed to serve the behavioral health needs of K-12 students and create partnerships to support science-based prevention and intervention, research, and workforce development. This institute presents incredible opportunities for the College of Education to be deeply involved in addressing the behavioral and mental health needs of Oregon children and youth.
The SPSY program offers two graduate degree programs across two campuses: Education Specialist (EdS) Degree + Oregon School Psychologist License, Locations: Eugene and Portland and Doctoral Degree + Oregon School Psychologist License, Location: Eugene.
