The History and Social Science Education programs prepares students for a variety of professional careers, ranging from classroom teachers to museum educators to social studies
curriculum specialists. Boston University’s History and Social
Science Education program reaches beyond the traditional
mission of developing classroom history and social studies
teachers to serve the many diverse professional goals of
our students.
The undergraduate degree in History and Social Science
leads to licensure as a middle or senior high school teacher.
It is possible to develop talents for a career in educational
publishing, museum work or educational policy. The
program’s professional education component is built upon
field-based activities throughout the four undergraduate
years, culminating in a student-teaching experience. Boston
University enjoys long-standing relationships with many
inner city and suburban school systems in Greater Boston
that offer students rewarding field experiences under the
guidance of expert teachers and faculty.
Qualified undergraduates in History and Social Science
Education may seek dual degrees with the College of
Arts and Sciences through the Boston University Collaborative
Degree Program. |
