WKU offers 24 graduate hours in gifted education
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (April 10, 2017) — Western Kentucky University has added a new specialist degree in gifted education and talent development. The research-focused specialist degree will prepare students for a variety of careers in higher education, government policy work or other organizations.
WKU offers 24 graduate hours in gifted education taught by nationally and internationally recognized graduate faculty with specialties in gifted education and talent development. The new degree ultimately means an increase in the quality and quantity of services educators are able to offer to gifted young people, said faculty member Dr. Julia Link Roberts.
“WKU is the only university in Kentucky to offer a master’s degree or a specialist degree in gifted education and talent development,” Roberts said. “Graduate work in gifted education prepares educators to plan and implement curriculum and services for children and young people with gifts and talents.”
