​Schools across the nation are seeking to hire well trained, enthusiastic, and creative teachers who will inspire their students to become knowledgeable and engaged citizens. The Social Studies Secondary Education Program at the University of Delaware is an outstanding place to learn how to become that teacher! It is a rigorous four-year program that prepares you to gain state certification to teach all Social Studies courses in both middle school and high school (grades 6-12). Our program is accredited by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (CAEP). Our program is also host to the Delaware chapter of the National Council for History Education (NCHE).
Students can major in History Education, Psychology Education, Political Science Education, Economics Education, Anthropology Education, Sociology Education, Geography
Education or Africana Studies with a Concentration in Social Studies Education. All students pass through four stages of professional development moving you out of your "student's seat" and up to the front of the class!​
Our job placement rate for teachers is excellent, due to our national ranking, program rigor, and long-term commitment to our students. Program graduates are teaching in schools across the nation and abroad. Many have become top administrators and consultants in schools and districts. Our students find that the high standards and expectations of our program enable them to eventually persue Master and Doctorate degrees in either education and/or their major discipline.
