The department first included programs that led to the bachelor's degree in special education, and to graduate degrees-M.A., E.Ed., Ed.D., and Sixth-Year Specialist in the areas of school psychology, instructional psychology, counseling and guidance, instructional media, and special education. The Department later added degrees in audiology and speech language pathology. The Institute for Special Education was also part of the department.
