Bachelor [Social Studies Teaching] From University of Indianapolis

The department works closely with the?Department of Teacher Education?to help prepare students who wish to teach social studies at the secondary level. Our curriculum combines the history bachelor's degree with concentrations in government and geography, providing excellent preparation for obtaining the social studies teaching license. In fact, since the adoption of our current curriculum, every UIndy student who has taken the exam has obtained his or her certification.

To be eligible for a middle/high school teaching license, you must complete all of the requirements of the bachelor's degree in history, plus four courses each in government and geography and at least two electives in other social studies areas, in addition to?education courses. To make sure you stay on track, you'll have two academic advisers?one in the History & Political Science Department and one in the Teacher Education Department.?
