Social Studies Education
As a student in the Social Studies Education program, you will have a program of study that combines the liberal arts core, your liberal arts major, and your education courses. You will complete a major in one of the social science areas: African American Studies (with a social science emphasis), American Studies, anthropology, economics, geography (with a non-natural science/non-physical geography emphasis), history, international relations, political science, policy studies, or sociology.
If you are entering SU with no college credit, a typical schedule might include:
- a beginning course in your chosen major
- a natural science course for your liberal arts core
- mathematics (MAT 121 or MAT 122; level determined by placement test)
- a foreign language course (if not satisfied in high school studies)
- a humanities course for your liberal arts core or a second social science
- WRT 105, or the alternative CAS 100 (consult iPlan for information)
- First-year Forum in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS 101)
- First-year Forum in the School of Education (EDU 101)
