BS in History & Social Studies Adolescence Education

This single certification major prepares students for initial certification as a Social Studies teacher for grades 7-12 with an extension to teach Social Studies in grades 5 and 6. Students interested in a dual certification as a Social Studies and Students with Disabilities (SWD) Generalist teacher should enroll in the History and Social Studies Adolescence Inclusive Education (SSI) major.

The study of History promotes the knowledge, breadth of perspective, intellectual growth, and skills essential to achieving career success, leading a purposeful life, and exercising responsible citizenship. Social Studies majors develop strong critical thinking, research, communication and problem-solving skills alongside the pedagogical skills that are vital for classroom teachers.

The History and Social Studies Adolescence Education(SSE) Major consists of required core courses, course choices within required categories, and one History elective. That elective can be any upper division (300 and 400-level) History course including History internship, study abroad, digital and oral history, and professional development courses. Students who plan well and take courses that count for general education as well as major or teacher certification requirements may be able to fit in a minor or a semester abroad. Students may have the opportunity to student teach in Alaska or abroad.
