Education

The world needs great teachers. At Birmingham-Southern, we prepare students to enter the classroom with a realistic picture of teaching as a profession. Education students study social constructivism and critical theory with talented faculty and enter classrooms to observe, plan lessons, and teach, around Birmingham and across the globe.

“Education is really about investigating your interests, pursuing your passions, and challenging yourself to do more and know more every day. Birmingham-Southern fosters a community that has allowed me to find my purpose and achieve dreams that I never thought possible. There isn't a better place to explore and reach your potential." – Maggie Besh ’17, Education, Teacher, Buiga Sunrise School, Uganda
