The mission of the College of Education is to prepare educators,
counselors, administrators, and other professionals to be lifelong,
innovative, informed, reflective decision makers effectively
trained to achieve the goals, competencies, and skills identified by
the accrediting and professional organizations for each program.
Non-certification programs in psychology are offered
through the College of Education at Dothan, Montgomery, Phenix
City, Troy, and various University College locations. Offerings
include a comprehensive 54-semester-hour program, a 36-semester-hour major, and a 18-semester-hour minor.
The Teacher Education Unit is comprised of all certification
programs in the College of Education. All certification programs
are approved by the Alabama State Board of Education. Certification
programs are offered at the Dothan, Phenix City, and Troy
campuses.
Only certification programs offered at the Dothan, Phenix
City and Troy campuses are accredited by the National Council
for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), 2010 Massachusetts
Ave., NW, Suite 500, Washington, D.C. 20036; phone
(202) 466-7496. This accreditation covers initial teacher preparation
programs and advanced educator preparation programs.
NCATE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and
the Council for Higher Education Accreditation to accredit programs
for the preparation of teachers and other professional
school personnel.
As part of ongoing planning and evaluation, the College of
Education regularly evaluates student learning outcomes for each
degree program.

PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology is the science concerned with the understanding
of behavior and mental processes. A major in psychology provides
students with (1) a useful foundation for further study at the
graduate level, leading to various careers in psychology, or to
study in the health professions and social work; (2) skills related to
employment at the baccalaureate level for the pursuit of careers in
mental health services, industry, human services or areas where
the knowledge of behavior would be deemed beneficial; and (3) a
sound preparation for describing, understanding, predicting, and
controlling the events in their own lives. Students who obtain an
advanced degree have a growing range of new opportunities for
employment in medical settings, sports, business, the military, as
well as private practice, university teaching, and research.
The 36-hour psychology major provides students an opportunity
to select courses from three major areas of psychology to
meet professional and personal objectives. These areas are natural
science, social science, and applied psychology. The 54-hour psychology
program is a more structured major, emphasizing the core
areas of psychology and methods of scientific investigation.

CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
Conceptual Framework
The ultimate goal of the College of Education Teacher Education
Unit at Troy University is the effective initial and continuing
preparation of candidates, teachers, and other school personnel.
The conceptual framework evolved from research-based models
(e.g. Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, 1973, Colton
and Sparks-Langer, 1993) and is aligned with nationally accepted
standards.
The unit’s commitment lies in training educators whose formal
preparation meets federal and state requirements and responds
to the expectations and needs of the communities served.
The conceptual framework reflects the commitment to produce
innovative, informed, and reflective decision makers. The
unit is committed to proven fundamentals and continuous review
of practice and research. Effective teachers must demonstrate exceptional
abilities and skills in their knowledge, their pedagogy,
and their dispositions.
Teacher Certification
All teacher education certification programs are approved by
the Alabama State Department of Education. Students seeking
teacher certification should refer to the specific program for eligibility
and program completion requirements. Only those students
who are properly admitted to an approved teacher certification
program and complete all current requirements will be recommended
for certification.
Certification in Alabama
Candidates completing an approved teacher certification program
are eligible to apply for the Alabama Class B professional
certificate, provided they meet the following:
- a minimum grade point average of 2.75 on all undergraduate
coursework attempted in the professional studies
and in the teaching field(s);
- a grade of C or better in all coursework which applies to
certification; and
- Successful completion of the Praxis II examination in all
areas of initial certification.
Any candidate who applies for a professional certificate is
subject to all regulations set forth by the Alabama State Department
of Education, including a comprehensive background check.
Additional requirements (e.g., standardized examinations to demonstrate
content mastery) may be added as the Alabama State
Board of Education and other accrediting agencies modify regulations.
Implementation of additional requirements may be mandated
by the Alabama State Department of Education and could
supersede a student’s stated program requirements. Candidates
should consult their education adviser for details.
Only candidates properly admitted to an approved certification
program and who successfully fulfill all program and certification
requirements will be recommended for certification. The
Certification Officer, appointed by the Dean of the College of
Education, is the only Troy University official authorized to recommend
candidates for certification in any state.
Certification in Other States
Other states may grant professional certification to candidates
completing the Troy University teacher education program. Some
states may have additional requirements. Candidates seeking certification
in other states should contact the appropriate State Department
of Education.
Only candidates properly admitted to an approved certification
program and who successfully fulfill all program and certification
requirements will be recommended for certification. The
Certification Officer, appointed by the Dean of the College of
Education, is the only Troy University official authorized to recommend
candidates for certification in any state.

the Alabama Model for Identifying Highly Qualified Teachers in
accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001.

- they receive less than the required minimum score of 18
on The Alabama Professional Education Personnel
Evaluation Program (PEPE); and
- remediation is requested within two years of the valid
date of the Professional Educator certificate, which was
issued based on recommendation by the unit.

for more than the first two years of employment.

all components of the required exit examination. There are four
components of the exit examination: professional studies, teaching
field(s), Praxis II and portfolio. The format and requirements
of the examination may vary according to the major.

experience will be reviewed prior to beginning any
coursework to determine eligibility. Candidates must successfully
complete all program and course requirements, including exit
examination(s), portfolio, and internship.

the professional studies area and a minimum of 12 semester hours
in the teaching field must be earned prior to internship at the campus supervising the required internship in order for a student to be
