ADVISING NOTES
First Semester Essential:
- Students should be scheduled for an English course and a math course, depending upon appropriate placement, in the first semester.
Considerations for State Certification Testing:
- Upon completion of a Bachelor's degree program at any Alabama university, prospective elementary and early childhood teachers must earn satisfactory scores on exams required for certification by the Alabama State Department of Education. More information about those exams are available on the ALSDE website at http://www.alsde.edu. To prepare for the required CORE and Praxis Exams, students should consider the following course selections:
- Full History Sequence: HIS 201 and HIS 202.
- Social Science Electives: POL 211 and GEO 100.
- Mathematics Electives: MTH 231 and MTH 232.
