* EDSE 45103 is a required course for SLPE. Students making the substitution of EDSE 3900I would complete the standard middle school-based field work requirements for those enrolled in the MSSE program. In consultation with the course instructor and the program advisor, additional observations related to non-classroom learning environments may be added.
^EDSE 44300 and EDSE 44301 are elective options for SLPE. Students selecting either or both of EDSE 3101E and EDSE 3105E would complete the standard middle school-based field work requirements for those enrolled in the MSSE program.
