The Bachelor of Special Education program was paused in Fall 2025 to allow for redevelopment of the program into a graduate-level pathway to better meet the evolving needs of educators and school systems in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The new Master of Education (Inclusive and Special Education) program launched in early 2026, with the first cohort commencing studies in Fall 2026.

The transition to a Master’s level program brings Memorial into alignment with other Canadian universities and addresses broader trends in teacher professional development and credentialing.
