About

Now in its sixth decade, the University of Hartford (UHart) sits proudly on a 350-acre main campus that includes parts of Hartford, West Hartford and Bloomfield. It provides a beautifully landscaped vista with grassy expanses and wooded areas with a branch of the Park River winding through it.

Despite its bucolic setting and relatively small size, UHart offers a dynamic student experience charged with diversity in its programs, activities, and student body. International and U.S. students of color comprise 43 percent of all undergraduates.

At the University of Hartford, students pursue a wide range of interests and talents. They are dance team members who major in accounting, division basketball players who study biomedical engineering, and health science majors who teach English in Ecuador and plan to join the Peace Corps.

Alumni include Broadway and film actors, opera standouts, internationally known artists and musicians, professional all-star athletes, successful business entrepreneurs, award-winning teachers and nurses, engineers who make groundbreaking discoveries and doctors who are leaders in their fields.

The University of Hartford provides a robust, distinctive educational experience for its more than 4,000 undergraduate and 1,700 graduate students. Distinguished faculty provide rigorous instruction as well as research, performance and internship opportunities in more than 100 degree programs in the arts, humanities, business, education, health, and engineering and technology professions. With students from 48 states and 63 countries, we are a university for the world.

Program Info

The Integrated Elementary and Special Education program at the University of Hartford is a professional program committed to the preparation of highly qualified educators who are trained to be skilled practitioners and leaders in both elementary and special education. Our teacher candidates gain an in-depth understanding of disabilities and knowledge of developmental, academic, social and emotional needs of students through a planned sequence of coursework, field observations, student teaching, conferences, lectures and other educational experiences. 

Candidates not only learn to assess and plan effective instruction but are also required to reflect on practices that they observe in the field during initial years of the program, and then reflect on their own practices in their junior and senior years.

This four-year program leads to certification in two endorsement areas: Elementary, Grades 1-6 and Comprehensive Special Education, Grades K-12.
