在这里学什么？

The Social Studies Education Program at Boston University provides opportunities for students to prepare for careers as teachers in public and private school settings in the disciplines of history, government/civics, geography, economics, and the other social sciences, including classroom teachers and educators who work in museums, nonprofit organizations, and informal educational settings.

BU students specializing in Social Studies Education engage in a comprehensive course of study that includes a strong base in the arts and sciences, with coursework in the humanities, social sciences, and math and science, as well as in education, in general, and social studies education. Mentored field experiences begin with a one-day-a-week school placement in freshman year, include pre-practicum experiences in schools, and culminate with full-time student teaching in a social studies classroom during senior year, affording pre-service teachers the opportunity to design and implement inquiry-based, multicultural, content-rich units of study, and to assess students’ learning.

The program of study for each student is carefully designed to enable student to meet both the BU Hub capacities and the requirements that enable BU to recommend students to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for teaching licenses at the Initial Level as Teachers of History, Grades 5–12. Fulfillment of licensure requirements in the program can lead to licensure in states with which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has reciprocity.

Qualified undergraduates in Social Studies Education may also seek dual degrees in history, political science, or other majors in the College of Arts & Sciences through the Boston University Dual Degree program.

Careful planning allows students to combine this program with coursework leading to licensure as a Teacher of Students with Moderate Disabilities, Grades 5–12 or English as a Second Language. They may require credits beyond the minimum undergraduate degree requirements.
