Program Description

The History Education degree leads to 6-12 teacher certification in the state of Georgia. Candidates concentrate on history, as the principal social science discipline in the secondary education curriculum, and take courses in several other social science disciplines (such as political science, economics, and geography) as part of their cross-disciplinary teaching field preparation. After certification in history, graduates can add on certification in additional disciplines.

This program is a part of the Norman J. Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences .

Accreditation

The B.S. with a major in History Education is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), is fully approved by Georgia’s Professional Standards Commission for teacher certification, and is nationally recognized by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS).
