Description: The B.A. in Social Studies Education 5–12 prepares students for a career teaching history, government, and other social studies classes at the middle- or high-school level. It combines coursework in history and social sciences with pedagogical training from the Department of Education , concluding with a student teaching experience in an area school. Students often add a second major in history or one of the social sciences. Advanced study in a second language or a minor in gender studies are also good fits for students preparing to teach grades 5–12. If students would rather work with younger students, they can major in elementary education and add a licensure in social studies (5–8).
