My D, graduating in '11 has been told by her counselor that her PSAT scores/grades… will more than likely qualify her to be national merit scholarship finalist. I started looking online to see how that might help with scholarships and found out about UA national merit scholarship. Being from Ohio, had never considered Alabama before, but after several hours reading all the UA threads on CC, checking out UA website and virtual tour, I am really impressed - so much so we are planning a visit in October. My concern is I haven’t seen any posts from students studying education and we have a few questions.
Does anybody know how the elementary ed program fits in with honors college?

Also, is anyone familiar with H.O.S.T, the student teaching abroad program at UA? This is one of the big selling points for her, and anyone’s experience with it would be helpful.

Finally, anyone have experience with getting a teaching position/ license in another state after graduating from UA?

Thanks!
