The faculty in this department specialize in advanced programs for exceptional learners which are inclusive. The Department of Inclusive Education also offers the state-mandated special education course for most undergraduate education programs—INED 3304 Education of Exceptional Students.

The department offers a graduate add-on endorsement in English to Speakers of Other Languages, two M.Ed. programs in Inclusive Education with concentrations in Special Education and TESOL. The department also offers an MAT in TESOL, a concentration in the Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree, and a concentration in the Ed.D. in Teacher Leadership for Learning.
