Bachelor of Science, Secondary Social Science Education Four Year Plan
The Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (Social Sciences concentration) at Southeastern University equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to instill an understanding and interest in history, cultural shifts, and current events in the next generation. You’ll begin the program by building your exposure to relevant core curriculum with an in-depth study of history, government, economics, cultural anthropology, and other topics. You’ll then gain valuable hands-on training in local middle and high school classrooms, where you’ll observe experienced teachers, instruct students, and be mentored. Your degree will culminate in the completion of a semester-long student teaching internship, where you’ll plan and teach the curriculum as well as manage and assess learners.
All teacher education programs have met requirements for Florida State Approved Programs.
Students who plan to teach in Florida schools must file an application with the Office of Teacher Certification for the State of Florida and complete the post-degree requirements for the teaching credential.
Students graduating from Florida state-approved teacher certification programs are currently eligible for initial certification to teach in all members of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), an interstate reciprocity contract allowing certified teachers to obtain teaching jobs in other states and territories. An applicant’s eligibility for certification according to the interstate agreement contract will be determined after the application for a Florida teaching certificate is on file in the Teacher Certification Office.
