Degrees Offered
The VITP offers licensure-only
and master's degree options for
individuals who are interested in becoming orientation and mobility (O& M)
specialists and teachers of students with visual
impairments (TSVI).
Individuals who are interested in the TSVI licensure-only option (30 credit
hours) need to have a current, valid teaching license. Individuals who are
interested in becoming a TSVI but do not have a teaching license can enroll
in the Master of Arts in Teaching program (60 credit hours) which provides
initial licensure. Individuals who already have a teaching license and want to
pursue a master's while becoming certified as a TSVI can enroll in the Master
of Education (54 credit hours) program. Teacher licensure is not required for
the O&M licensure-only option (28 credit hours) or Master of Education (48
credit hours). All programming offered as a part of NCCU's VITP is offered in
a hybrid format, which blends necessary face-to-face instruction with online
instruction to accommodate students with busy schedules and a range of
geographic locations.
