Chair: Lynn Kirkland
The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers undergraduate programs leading to a B.S. degree and Alabama “Class B” certification in early childhood/elementary education (grades P-6), high school education (grades 6-12), and foreign language education. Programs in art education (grades P-12), instrumental music education (grades P-12), and vocal/choral music education (grades P-12) are offered in conjunction with the College of Arts and Sciences. A program in middle school mathematics (grades 4-8) is offered in conjunction with the College of Arts and Sciences. In addition, the department offers programs leading to the Master of Arts in Education degree and to the Education Specialist degree. These graduate programs are designed so that students may receive Alabama “Class A” and “Class AA” teaching certificates. Students may also earn a Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) in early childhood education.
Students preparing to teach are expected to participate in a series of planned assignments in community and/or school settings both before and after admission to the Teacher Education Program. These opportunities to work with children and youth are designed to enhance the students’ professional development and to supplement their campus coursework.
Faculty mentors in the department are assigned following students’ acceptance into the Teacher Education Program (TEP).
Early Childhood Education - Non-Certification
Early Childhood & Elementary Education - Teacher Certification
Early Childhood Education - Non-Certification
The early childhood education non-certification program is designed to prepare students to work in a variety of early care and educational settings serving children ages birth to five. Career options include but are not limited to childcare administration, childcare resource and referral, and teaching in preschool and Head Start classrooms. Students successfully completing the program will receive a baccalaureate degree in early childhood education. In addition to studying general child development content, students will learn the basics of planning, implementing, and evaluating early childhood programs. Professional preparation includes courses in child development, curriculum, instructional strategies, assessment, and technology. The program includes extensive field experiences in infant, toddler, and preschool classrooms.
There are two pathways to earning an early childhood non-certification bachelor’s degree. One option, the 2+2 option, is designed for students who complete an Associate degree in child development at an Alabama community college. These students transfer to UAB complete the second half of the early childhood education non-certification bachelor’s degree program. Option two is for students who begin their post-secondary education at a four-year institution.

Middle School Education
A program in middle school mathematics (grades 4-8) is offered in conjunction with the College of Arts and Sciences. Students following this program must meet TEP entrance, retention, and completion requirements as outlined in previous sections in order to be recommended for Alabama teacher certification. Students seeking certification in middle grades mathematics should complete the Mathematical Reasoning track of the Mathematics major within the Department of Mathematics (see catalog). For education course requirements, contact the Office of Student Services (934-7530), within the School of Education, for the current checklist.
Secondary Education
The secondary education program offers a major in high school education and certification areas for grades 6–12 in biology, chemistry, English language arts, French, general science, general social science, mathematics, and physics, and a certification area for grades 6-12 in Spanish. Programs leading to grades P-12 certification in art and music (instrumental and vocal/choral) are offered in conjunction with the College of Arts and Sciences. A minor in secondary education is available.
In compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act, students obtaining teacher certification in a secondary (grades 6-12) or P-12 area must have an academic major in the field in which they seek certification. As a result, students pursuing high school education majors must declare education and their teaching field as double majors. Students may list education as the primary major and the teaching field (e.g., chemistry) as the second major or list the teaching field (e.g., chemistry) as the primary major and education as the second major. Students completing the program will receive a single degree with both majors listed. The degree (B.A. or B.S.) depends upon the primary major.
Due to Alabama Department of Education regulations for teachers, Core Curriculum requirements for education majors are more specific than Core Curriculum requirements for the teaching field major. The specific courses taken to satisfy the Core Curriculum also vary with each teaching field and major. Students should obtain a program checklist from the Office of Student Services, Room 100, Education Building.
High School Education/Biology (Double Major)
This program is a double major in high school education and biology and leads to teacher certification in biology only. Students wishing to teach biology and other sciences should see the next section entitled “High School Education/Biology (Double Major) – General Science”.
