Office of International Programs
The College of Education has provided educational opportunities to American-sponsored overseas schools through the Office of International Programs since 1966. Since its beginning, the International Programs at the College of Education has contributed to this effort by providing qualified students an affordable opportunity to continue their studies abroad for becoming successful educators. Programs have included on-site courses for professional development and graduate credit, graduate degree programs, fieldwork, technical services, and consultation.
Thousands of teachers and administrators have earned graduate degrees through Alabama’s International Programs. Benefits of enrollment include career advancement, professional growth, higher salaries, meeting SACS requirements for accreditation, expansion of networking, and great opportunities of getting assistantship during study.
We offer both Degree programs and A Post Baccalaureate Certificate program.
Degree Programs
We offer four graduate degrees:
- Masters of Arts in Computers and Adaptive Technologies
- Masters of Arts in Elementary Education
- Masters of Arts in Secondary Education
- Masters of Arts in Teaching English as an Additional Language
Post Baccalaureate Endorsement Program
As an alternative to degree programs, International Programs offers an endorsement in Teaching English as An Additional Language (TEAL). The TEAL endorsement is a 4-course program designed to build the skills and knowledge necessary to teach English as a second or foreign language. All courses in the International endorsement program in TEAL can be applied toward a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction.
