Amid rising demands for mental health services on college campuses nationwide, Concordia is leading the way in Wisconsin with an innovative stress-reduction resource for its students.

Wisconsin’s only Teacher of the Visually Impaired program begins
CUW launched the sole visually impaired teaching licensure program in the state of Wisconsin this past January. According to state educational data, about four percent of Wisconsin’s school-aged children are visually impaired. Even with the low incidence, Wisconsin lacks qualified teachers and, by federal directive, was in need of a program to provide a pipeline of teacher candidates for the state’s K-12 schools.

This 15-credit certificate, set to begin this fall, is being tailored so that graduates will be linguistically and culturally prepared to interact with Hispanic patients in their career.
