Certifying into Social Studies
Social studies is traditionally a major for students who plan to earn both a B.A. and a primary teaching endorsement. Students pursuing a teaching certificate must apply for admission to the 4-12 Initial Certificate Program. The program leads to a primary endorsement in social studies. Students are encouraged to select an additional endorsement.
A student may certify a major in social studies upon completing 24 credits with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Those interested in a teaching option should consult with the College of Education concerning certification requirements for teaching. Students majoring in social studies should have a strong and broad high school background in humanities, social science, and languages.
