BA/BS in Education, General

This teacher education degree prepares candidates for secondary classrooms. The plan combines the university core with education foundation courses on contemporary issues, cultural foundations and how teaching and learning work. Because the page lists concentration paths with differing content courses, candidates should confirm their chosen teaching field with an advisor. Upper-division work in education and special education courses opens only after a student meets the requirements for admission to Teacher Education. The final stage is a supervised internship in a secondary school. One special education course demands a B under state professional standards rules, while field of study classes need at least a C. Prospective students should review the full catalog entry for course sequences, prerequisites and grade rules, and speak with an academic advisor at Albany State University before building a schedule.
