There is both a graduate and an undergraduate certificate program at JMU. The undergraduate focuses on non-direct teacher type skills (competencies for paraprofessionals and direct service staff).
The undergraduate program is intended for current JMU students enrolled in non-special education licensure programs who wish to increase their understanding of this population.
AS OF SPRING 2021 CERTIFICATES ARE NO LONGER GIVEN - TRANSCRIPT WILL HAVE PROOF OF COMPLETING!
