Rating 5 out of 5

I graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor and master's degree. My degrees are in Early Childhood Education. I taught school for twenty-five years and throughout those years, after talking with teachers from other schools, I realized I had the best college experience ever! The professors that taught reading were excellent and the content I learned helped me so much throughout my career. The is an excellent school!!
