Economics for Social Studies Licensure

Students should be thoroughly familiar with the requirements of the teaching curriculum and admission to the Teacher Education Program. Refer to the College of Education and the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Media Technology sections of this Catalog.

Students may choose to concentrate in any three of the following teaching areas: economics, geography, government, history, psychology, and sociology. To ensure broad competence in the social sciences, students are also required to complete one course in each teaching area not chosen as the teaching area, for a total of 9 credit hours. There is one exception to this pattern: students who do not choose history as one of their teaching areas must complete two history courses and one course in each of the other teaching area not chosen, for a total of 12 credit hours. For a full description of the Social Science Education Program, see the Social Science Education section of this Catalog.
