The University of Alabama’s College of Education seeks to prepare professionals who value and demonstrate reflective practice and ethical decision making through respecting diversity, honoring difference, and promoting social justice. The Secondary Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (SCTL) Program offers exemplary professional programs that prepare educators to be reflective decision-makers, researchers, and facilitators of student learning in general.

Students in the SCTL program graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Students may continue their education in the program and pursue a Master of Arts degree in their content area. After acquiring some teaching experience, usually three years, some students further their education by earning an Educational Specialist or doctoral degree (EdD or PhD) in SCTL. Secondary education majors will complete a dual major in a content area and secondary education.
