Social Studies Education Major, B.A.

(50–52 credits + education course work)

Social scientists share a common interest in observing, describing and explaining social phenomena, including cultures, institutions, organizations, groups and individuals. A major in social studies education is designed to serve students who seek certification to teach social studies in secondary schools and who need an overview of the disciplines represented in the social sciences. Licensure requirements are subject to change; therefore, students considering teaching in this area should be in continuous contact with the chair of this program and the School of Education for a list of required courses.
