The Bachelor of Science program in Teaching Social Studies for Grades 7-12 develops future middle and high school educators capable of sparking genuine student enthusiasm for history, social sciences, and civic engagement.
With history serving as the cornerstone of social studies curricula in New York and numerous states, NYU's program provides comprehensive historical education, offering global and US history overviews before allowing specialization in areas like modern European studies, culminating in advanced courses and intimate research seminars. Students gain interdisciplinary perspectives through diverse coursework spanning humanities, social sciences, world languages, natural sciences, and mathematics.
Pedagogical training builds upon this robust social sciences foundation. As students master subjects like American history, concurrent education courses demonstrate effective teaching strategies for secondary classrooms. Future educators learn to blend history with literature and arts, while implementing hands-on workshops that encourage analysis of historical debates and primary documents. The program highlights how local history projects can connect academic research to students' personal experiences. Participants also explore cutting-edge approaches to promote civic participation through service learning and examine innovative social studies teaching resources. Additional training addresses reading and writing challenges, ensuring graduates understand special education needs and contemporary education policy issues affecting today's schools.
