Bachelor of Science in Broadfield Social Studies Education - History

Teacher candidates completing any of the four broadfield social studies education majors will be prepared for WI certification in Middle and High School Social Studies (grades 4-12). This teaching license includes all six social studies subject areas: economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology. The learning outcomes for the program are designed to prepare teacher candidates to meet the current National Council for Social Studies (NCSS) and InTASC Teacher Standards. This program is affiliated with the School of Education, and teacher candidates completing this program meet School of Education core requirements, as well as other admissions, benchmark assessment, and statutory requirements for licensure.

While all four tracks prepare teacher candidates for the same WI Social Studies teaching license (2700), teacher candidates may still wish to specialize in a particular area andor obtain an additional subject-specific license through a state-approved content test after earning their WI Middle and High School Social Studies license. Thus, several tracks have been developed that provide some flexibility for prospective social studies teachers to craft preparation pathways to the new Social Studies license that fit their needs and interests.

The broadfield social studies education major: history concentration is intended for those who intend to seek certification in the grades 4-12 developmental range, provides a grounding in the core courses of the history major, as well as a foundation in four categories of history covering much of the world and its time periods. This program also requires the completion of certain history classes required specifically for future teachers and some additional courses required by state statute.
