Overview

In fact, we've specifically designed this program to help prepare you to teach diverse groups of students from grades six through twelve. If you already have your Class B teaching certificate, you're ready for the traditional master's. If not, no problem. You can do our alternative master's program, where we'll not only give you a solid foundation in education, but we'll put you on a path to earn your Alternative Class A teaching certificate. Once in the program, you'll take courses such as Innovative Practices in Teaching Secondary School, Curriculum Principles and Practices, the Dynamics of Educational Change, and more. Then, depending on your concentration, you'll take at least four electives. Finally, you'll be required to complete a practicum as well as an internship, giving you real-world experience before you hit the job market.

High School Education at The University of Alabama at Birmingham will provide you with the coursework and experience you will need to become a highly qualified teacher within one of the following content areas: science, social studies, mathematics, or English language arts. You will receive instruction from our nationally renowned instructors who will teach you the critical skills, competencies, and state-of-the-art instructional strategies for meeting the evolving needs of young learners in the 21st century. In addition to your coursework, you will participate in internships and practicums for hands-on experience.
