Annually, 13% of special educators leave teaching, twice that of general educators (Wong et al., 2017). In June 2017, the U.S. Department of Education and Office of Postsecondary Education announced that 46 states were drastically short of special education teachers (Robinson et al., 2019). This study explores how university special education (SPED) teacher preparation program descriptions entice students to enroll in university SPED program. Results indicate disconnects between university SPED descriptions and the realities of SPED teachers will face in special education classrooms.
