What is the Bridge Project?

The Bridge scholars will receive interdisciplinary collaborative enriched coursework, specially designed seminars, and supervised fieldwork experiences. Graduates will be prepared to serve young children with disabilities eligible for Part C or Part B preschool services through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
