SOCIAL STUDIES EDUCATION
Students may work toward Social Studies certification through
the following two programs which are housed in the History Department.
Both programs have a specific purpose. The History/Social Studies
Secondary Education is a Dual Major in History and Education
with required courses in the other social science departments.
While this program provides the student with the necessary courses
for Secondary Social Studies Teaching Certification for Grade
7- 12, it also provides a strong History background for those
interested in graduate or law school.
The Social Studies Certification Program provides the basic
courses that will give students the opportunity to meet the
Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) standards or competencies
required for one to teach Social Studies at the Secondary level
for Grades 7 – 12. Students will need to take courses
in history, political science, sociology, economics, psychology
as well as the Education Department.
