Social Science is typically pursued as a double-major with Secondary Education in order to prepare graduates for a career in secondary school teaching. However, a student may choose Social Science as an interdisciplinary major that does not entail teaching certification after graduation.
Program Mission
The mission of the Social Science Program is to prepare students to pursue a career in secondary school teaching by providing them with a broad-based program meeting the requirements for certification to teach all or most of the usual social sciences offered in secondary schools. A student who opts to complete the Social Science degree without double majoring in Secondary Education will receive a comprehensive education in history and the social sciences but will not be prepared to meet the certification requirements necessary for a teaching career in most secondary schools.
