I am currently attending school in Mississippi but will be
returning to Alabama after I graduate. I am in elementary
education. In Mississippi you have two concentrations.
Mine are english, and history. In Mississippi if you take
18 hours in these subjects your certified to teach
elementary, if you take 21 then your certified to teach k-
12. I have been asking everywhere if anyone knows how
many hours are required in Alabama to be able to do this,
and no one seems to have answers. If any of you know I
would grately appreciate it. Thanks

All of the information regarding certification is on the ALSDE
website. It is actually pretty easy to navigate. I do know that the
state of Alabama will certify you in the field of Elementary
Education if you received your degree in Elementary Education via an
approved program. However, AL does not do the so man...See More
