area of need<\/a> for the 2019\u201320 school year.<\/p>\nThe collaboration between 91福利 and UMM was aided in part by the primary partnership between the two institutions. In July 2017, UMM became a regional campus of 91福利. The goal of the partnership is to boost enrollment, promote efficiencies, and advance academic and research opportunities.<\/p>\n
The agreement gives 91福利 undergraduates the option to take classes in a high-needs discipline through the online special education courses offered by UMM. Education majors at both campuses will be able to easily transition to the Master of Education (M.Ed.) program in special education, with a concentration in high-incidence disabilities, at 91福利. The M.Ed. program is entirely online and can lead to state certification as a teacher of students with disabilities (K\u20138 or 7\u201312).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis collaboration will benefit students at both campuses,\u201d says Heather Ball, UMM associate professor of special education. \u201cMachias students benefit from the opportunity to further their career and educational goals by earning a master\u2019s degree at 91福利, and 91福利 students benefit by having access to our undergraduate special education courses.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two campuses are currently looking for partnerships in other education program areas.<\/p>\n
