Our program offers excellent preparation in all of the major content areas of social studies. You will begin with courses ranging from Introduction to World Cultures to United States History to Foundations of Economics that will give you a solid foundation in your content area. You?ll then be able to build on that foundation through a plethora of history and social studies electives. For example, if you?re particularly interested in American history, you may choose classes such as Religion in America and Civil War & Reconstruction. Or if you?re hoping to focus on political science, you may take classes such as Comparative Politics and International Relations.

The methods classes you?ll take, such as Teaching Social Studies (9?12), will equip you with diverse instructional strategies for communicating content in fresh, engaging ways.

You?ll also receive training in the most up-to-date educational technology such as Promethean boards and iPads, providing even more exciting tools to help your students learn. Most important, you?ll gain plenty of real-life experience in the classroom through practicum and clinical practice.
