Visual Impairment Program

The Visual Impairment program in our College of Education is one of the oldest and most established of its kind in the state of Pennsylvania. Special Education majors pursuing a B.S. in Education/Visual Impairment will be part of an extraordinary network of students and faculty who make this program so outstanding among others of its kind.

Program History

In addition to the fact that Kutztown University is the only program to offer such an undergraduate and graduate program at a state university in Pennsylvania, KU also has successful relationships with larger organizations. For example, KU students have presented research studies at state and national conferences across the United States, served as representatives on national boards, and even become supervisors themselves.
