History: Social Studies Education
The History Department offers undergraduate and graduate programs of study in Social Studies Education that lead to licensure recommendation in the state of North Carolina. Concentrations are offered in both Middle Grades (6-9) and Secondary (9-12). As an accredited Educator Preparation Program by both NCATE and NCDPI (North Carolina Department of Public Instruction), our mission is to train and prepare professionals who are capable of facilitating learning for twenty-first century students. Our teacher candidates learn to effectively engage disciplinary literacy, utilize assessment as learning, and infuse technology into the classroom. They know how to prepare students for civic life, post-secondary education, and the global workplace.
