Gifted Education (M.S.E.)

The master of science in gifted education (MSE-GIFT) is designed for candidates holding a bachelor’s degree in a teaching field with Alabama Class B certification who are seeking advanced preparation and certification in the field of gifted education. Upon successful completion, the candidate is eligible for the M.S.E. degree with Alabama Class A certification in gifted education (provided current certification requirements of the Alabama State Department of Education have been met). Individuals with a master’s degree and Class A certification in a teaching field may be able to complete a certification-only track if elective equivalencies can be determined based on the transcript of previous graduate coursework.
