The College of Education has grown in its comprehensiveness and now reaches out in multiple ways to all involved in the educational endeavor.
Many of our bachelor’s degrees focus on teacher education in the various fields of early childhood education, elementary education, physical education, music education, secondary education and special education.
We also offer an exercise science program for those who plan to enter fields such as exercise physiology, personal training, coaching, sports nutrition, occupational therapy or physical therapy as well as educational neuroscience programs for those interested in psychological and brain sciences and education.
Our graduate programs lead to Master of Arts, Educational Specialist, Doctor of Education and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
As part of the premier educational institution in Alabama, the College of Education strives to provide teaching, research and service that not only address state and regional interests but also accommodate national and international perspectives.
We conduct research informing the judgment of practitioners in schools and allied fields, train scholars and administrators, and continuously search for ways to improve the lives of students, educators and Alabamians.
Our faculty have received awards locally, regionally and nationally for their outstanding commitment to teaching and for being experts in their field while our students have been recognized University-wide for their teaching, research and service.
