Integrated Social Studies Education- Bachelor of Science in Education
The Integrated Social Studies Education major leads to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. Approved by the Ohio Department of Education, this program prepares graduates to teach students in grades 7-12 in the areas of Social Studies. In addition to meeting the requirements of the Miami Plan, students take courses in Social Studies and Educational Psychology. During their study, students observe and participate in urban and suburban/rural classrooms, culminating in a 15-week, full-time student teaching experience in which they work closely with mentor teachers in high schools or middle schools, eventually assuming instructional responsibilities for all classes.
