Degree offered at: Available Online
The Learning and Behavior Disorders P-12 (LBD) program offers both traditional certification and Option 6 alternative certification. The traditional program includes 45 hours of online coursework, plus a 12-hour student teaching semester, with two (2) eight (8)-week placements (an elementary placement and a middle school or high school placement).
Students hired to teach on a temporary provisional certificate in a P-12 collaborative/co-teaching position while in the program move into the Option 6 program, and only complete the 45 hours of coursework.
Students take two (2) courses (6 credit hours) per each 8-week term, and must pass the Praxis 5543 exam in order to apply for professional LBD certification upon the completion of their program.

Program Admissions
CAP 5, admission to the program, requires the student to complete an application for admission to Campbellsville University graduate studies and meet entrance requirements for the MASE program (official transcripts, 2.75 grade point average, three letters of recommendation). Candidates must also include TB Risk Assessment or Skin Test and a Criminal Background check. Supporting documentation must be included with the application. The program chair reviews the admissions documentation and then makes an admissions decision. If the applicant is accepted into the MASE program, a curriculum guide is created for the student.
CAP 6 is a mid-point assessment in the program. It requires the completion of 24 hours of graduate level work. An academic standard of a 3.0 grade point average is required. The candidate’s transcripts are reviewed by the Program Chair’s office to determine CAP 6 status. The candidate meeting the criteria receives a letter of continuation for the MASE degree.
CAP 7, program completion/exit, requires the student to complete an application form with appropriate supporting documentation. For program completion/ exit, candidates must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average; submit dispositions, i.e., two graduate professors’ evaluations, one self-evaluation; complete the 45 hours of coursework, submit a satisfactory portfolio, and pass the required licensure/ Praxis exam.
