This is the page for on-line visits to
major special education graduate programs in America. This click-and-link
catalog is the result of email queries following the 1998 U.S. News/World
Report listing of leading graduate programs in a number of academic areas. (Note: To reach the special education dept, simply click on the name of the
school. Publishing professors omitted -- or included! -- without merit are
unintentional; please advise. Please also suggest additions to this list,
including three publications for each professor submitted.) Visitors to this Program STEPPE webpage may cut-and-paste
information freely; credit according to conscience.
Interested in reading university-specific local stories? Visit Univ
News; timely, informative, enlightening. You will not be disappointed.
This Program STEPPE resource
page focuses on selected (and hopefully representative) graduate programs in
special education only -- for informational purposes only. Click
on the link, visit the site, and gather directly the official program-specific
information sought.
At each site, of course, you will be
able to 'back-delete' from the right-end of the URL address to work your way
back to the main webpage of the department, school, college and/or university.
You will thus often be able to visit other university graduate programs of
interest as well: educational administration, curriculum and instruction,
computer/instructional technology, vocational education, elementary/secondary
education, along with various areas of study in psychology.
Enjoy the information but read those
gushing college, department, and program self-accolades with caution: If all
those "world leader", "internationally recognized",
"nationally renowned", "best in the country", "leading
institute", "center for educational excellence", and
"mission statements" were as superb as flouted, all schools would be
tied for top spot and we would all have a whole lot less problems to research!
(Closer to the truth is perhaps an inverse relationship between brash claims and
genuine academic quality!)
Professors accompanying each link
below are oft-published -- relatively speaking -- in the special education
literature (barring my own oversight). Accordingly, most names will prove
familiar to users of Biblio-Refs.
(Again, Biblio-Refs is the no-nonsense, no-excuse
searchable database of more than 8,000 top research references in 50 research
areas, the software that will indeed help you harness your fleeting time
and manage the often stressful research grind!)
