Bachelor of Science in History Education

The History Education degree will prepare you and certify you in the state of Georgia to teach social studies in grades 6-12. After being certified in history, you can add on additional teaching fields simply by passing additional Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators (GACE) exams.

By taking courses in various social science disciplines like geography, political science and economics, you'll undergo pedagogical training and immersive field experiences in middle and high school classrooms at public schools, including a yearlong placement during your final year.
