A social studies teaching degree from UIndy gives you the skills necessary to teach history, and instills further knowledge about government, geography, economics, sociology and psychology. The department works closely with the Department of Teacher Education to help prepare students who wish to teach social studies at the secondary level. Our curriculum combines the history bachelor's degree with concentrations in government and geography, providing excellent preparation for obtaining the social studies teaching license. In fact, since the adoption of our current curriculum, every UIndy student who has taken the exam has obtained his or her certification. Potential careers in social studies teaching: Middle school/junior high teacher: If you think you would enjoy teaching younger students, you may want to consider a career in a middle school or junior high setting. High school teacher: For those looking for a slightly more mature audience or for those who would rather teach courses that focus on subjects like U.S. History or U.S. Government, then you might want to teach at the high school level. School administrator/guidance counselor: With a few years of teaching experience and more education, you can become a principal, guidance counselor, athletic director or superintendent. Teaching abroad: While you may not be able to teach social studies abroad, other skills—such as writing—that you learn while at UIndy will come in handy if you are considering teaching abroad.
