University of Northern Colorado: The University of Northern Colorado offers a Master's Degree program in the area of Visual Impairment and an endorsement in Orientation and Mobility. The fully-online master's program prepares teachers to work with students, age birth to 21 who are blind/visually impaired, with a special emphasis on the needs of early childhood and elementary-aged students. Dr. Paula Conroy is the Program Coordinator. The program provides an essential role in Colorado's need for TVIs and COMS. Currently Colorado is one of a handful of states without a personnel shortage in the field of educating learners who are blind/visually impaired.
