Notes:

  • * indicates course is accompanied by field experience.
  • EDUC 100 also serves to meet Core social science requirement.  Although the Core provides a great deal of background related to Social Studies, core courses are not counted as part of the content area major. 
  • This schedule assumes that foreign language requirements have been met or will be addressed during summers.  It also assumes that the student will address any preliminary mathematics requirements before beginning the program. 
  • Four of the social studies electives must be history courses.
