Click to Enlarge AREA OF CONCENTRATION: The purpose of this transfer track is to prepare students for a career in teaching children and youth who are intellectually, emotionally, or behaviorally disabled. Special education is a limited access program at most Florida universities. Students are encouraged to be familiar with the admissions requirements at the university they plan to attend. Students may have additional requirements for admission to a teacher‐preparatory program. Please contact a GCSC adviser or the transfer institution for further guidance. The state of Florida requires a thorough background check by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement prior to students entering the classroom for observations. The college requires the submission of written verification of approved and completed background checks before students may complete on‐site course requirements. Students doing observations in school systems must go to the district in which they will do their observations and comply with the requirements for that system. The students will be required to pay a fee for the cost of the backgroundcheck.
