Secondary Education, BSE

The secondary education program offers exemplary professional programs that prepare educators to be reflective decision-makers, researchers, and facilitators of student learning. The programs in secondary education lead to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree and the Alabama Class B (grades 6–12) professional certificate in the areas of English language arts, foreign language education (French, German, Latin, and Spanish), mathematics, general science (biology, chemistry, or physics major), and general social science. Students complete their internships in the Tuscaloosa area; however, there are opportunities to student teach abroad in countries such as England, Ireland, and South Africa. Faculty provide students with many opportunities to become involved in scholarly endeavors such as conducting research, presenting papers at conferences, and co-authoring articles. Secondary education students are typically interested in pursuing careers as middle and/or high school teachers.
