Educational and Clinical Studies

The Department of Educational and Clinical Studies offers graduate degree programs at the master’s and doctoral levels. Master’s level programs are designed for applied practice in educational (i.e., early childhood, early childhood special education, English language learning, school counseling, special education) and clinical settings (i.e., clinical/mental health counseling). Many of the master’s level programs are aligned to educational licensure and/or endorsement requirements in the state of Nevada. The doctoral program in special education is designed for future professors or educational leaders in special education (i.e., autism, learning disabilites, emotional/behavioral disabilites, gifted, intellectual disabilites, early childhood special education) or early childhood education.
