What Can I Do With a Major in Integrated Social Studies Education?
The Integrated Social Studies major leads to a Bachelors of Science Degree in Education. Approved by the Ohio Department of Education, this program prepares its graduates to teach students in grades 7-12. For this program students take courses in History, Geography, Economics, Sociology, Political Science and Education. During their study, students will observe and participate in urban and suburban/rural classrooms. The program is capped by a semester long student teaching experience in which students work closely with mentor teachers in high schools or junior high schools, eventually assuming instructional responsibilities for all classes.
Entering students must preference pre-major status in Integrated Social Studies and later apply for admission to a cohort. Pre-majors become majors when they are accepted in a cohort, usually following one year of full-time study. Admission to cohorts is competitive with the number of admissions determined by the number of students the Department of Teacher Education can teach effectively.
