Faculty and Curriculum
Our limited-enrollment social studies education program explores the broad topics of social studies—with inquiries into history, economics, geography, and politics—along with effective strategies for teaching those concepts to middle and high school students.
As part of a clinically based program, you will spend significant time observing and working with experienced teachers in partner schools as well as with a small group of fellow students, doctoral candidates, and faculty.
You enter this restricted major in the spring of your junior year with an introduction to social studies education. Studies continue in the fall of your senior year with 15 hours of seminars and related clinical experience.
You spend most of your final spring semester student teaching in a local middle or high school, planning lessons, leading classes, and assessing students under the supervision of experienced teachers. Weekly seminar meetings with faculty and graduate students reinforce and refine those real-world lessons.
