Program Description

The Master of Arts degree program is designed for students with a strong social science background or a background in social studies education who are interested in doing research for a thesis. This program allows students the opportunity to choose courses that speak to their unique interests as a social studies teacher. The flexibility of the program extends into scheduling as well. Courses are offered in the evening and summer to fit the availability of practicing professionals. A student’s academic program as a master’s student will vary depending on their interests. Students take three required courses that cover research, problems, and curriculum in social studies education. Students will select the remainder of their courses with the guidance of a faculty advisor.
