Real-life experiences enhanced grad’s path to degree

For Sonya Mellerson, earning a PhD in special education was more than a typical academic experience. Sonya chose TWU because of the real-life experiences of the professors and the great teacher education program that allows students to complete their graduate degree while working full time.

Special education is a passion for Sonya and she already has been serving special education students for more than 10 years.

She plans to start her own special education assessment and consulting agency.
