Two online sections of EDSE 517 (Computer Applications for Special Populations) course will be available through the George Mason University Special Education Outreach Program during the summer of 2026. These sections will only be open to cohort members.  Please remember that the cohort follows a condensed schedule. When taking the online version of EDSE 517, be prepared to commit approximately 12-16 hours a week to the course. Students may choose when to take these courses, however, because of the already challenging pace of the cohort, the Division recommends students take these courses after they have finished the face-to-face cohort courses.
