The Social Studies, Grades 9-12, B.A. degree provides students with a strong foundation in both history and education content, preparing them to be a successful career educator. The HSSE major offers students critical content knowledge and develops their ability to understand how the past has shaped the present, how to think critically, how to teach knowledge and skills to others, and how to conduct historical research. Those earning an HSSE degree will be adept critical thinkers and communicators who have developed skills in understanding complexity, diverse global perspectives, and multiple (often conflicting) points of view with an educator’s ability to effectively distill and teach the skills as well as content, graduating with the licensing credentials necessary to begin teaching immediately. The program is offered in tandem with the Spadoni College of Education and Social Sciences and follows the degree completion requirements set by the South Carolina Department of Education and Spadoni College.
