Bachelor of Science in Broadfield Social Studies Education - Political Science

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.

Political science is the study of governments, policies, institutions, and the behavior of participants in the political world. Using humanistic and scientific approaches, as well as qualitative and quantitative methods, the field of political science examines political structures both inside and outside government with the goal of better understanding how they function, and the ways in which they change the world over time. The study of political science includes four subfields of specialization: American government and politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political theory.
