Arizona State University, in conjunction with Syracuse University and Florida International University, is launching a $7.5 million program to support a distinct group of doctoral students pursuing a degree in special education.

Daegu National University of Education, located in Daegu Metropolitan City — South Korea’s third-largest — is one of that nation’s leading institutions focused exclusively on educating elementary school teachers, and also one of the most recent universities with whom Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College has forged a partnership.
Students in rural high schools often don’t have access to advanced courses that can help them succeed in college, or even simply get accepted to the colleges they hope to attend.
