*** The Introduction to Special Education course required by Harford
Community College is a necessary requirement of the College's AAT
degree, but is not sufficient to meet all special education or inclusion
course requirements for four-year teacher education programs. Students
may be required to take additional special education or inclusion
courses as a part of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree and
teacher education certification at four-year institutions.
