Teacher Education: BA/MA Combined Program
The History Department offers a combined Bachelor's & Master's program.
Students who are interested in public school teaching may combine this course of study with the undergraduate social studies certification program. This program allows qualified students to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in History and Social Studies Teacher Certification in five years.
BA/MA program in history & social studies: Students admitted to this five-year program follow the same course of studies as students admitted to our MA and PhD programs, and—along with teacher certification—they earn a master’s degree in history, rather than teaching. This program prepares students for secondary school teaching, doctoral study in history, and/or other careers that build on the research, analytical, and writing skills acquired in the graduate program in history.
