Autism Spectrum Disorders
In a recent study, the Centers for Disease Control concluded that one in every 50 American children are on the autism spectrum – a large increase from last year’s finding of 1 in 88. To meet the needs of this continually growing population, Fontbonne University offers the Master of Art in Education with a concentration in Autism Spectrum Disorders. In this comprehensive, collaborative graduate program, educators and professionals from a variety of backgrounds will learn to effectively work with and educate both children on the spectrum and their families.
A certificate of completion is available for those students who wish to take only the five required specialty courses.
