The name change was proposed and approved earlier this month at The University of Alabama System Board of Trustees meeting in Birmingham.
The name was changed to reflect the wider array of fields being taught at the school. These programs include applied behavior analysis; sport and fitness management; and child, family and community development.
“The UAH College of Education has been supporting our students in many different disciplines for more than a decade. As the educational landscape continues to change, we felt it was imperative that we re-brand the college to connect with our vision and strategic plan for the future.”
Dr. Beth Quick, Dean of the UAH College of Education
The College of Education focuses on collaborative, elementary, English Speakers of Other Languages and secondary teacher preparation as well as exercise science and sport and fitness management at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
More than 400 students are currently enrolled in the college.
