Barton’s Social Studies program is designed for students who intend to teach high school social studies. We emphasize both breadth and depth, so you’ll take courses that will give you a foundation in all the subjects you may have to teach—history, geography, political science, economics, and sociology. In upper-division courses, you’ll be able to specialize in your favorite field while taking education courses to develop your teaching abilities. You’ll take introductory courses in American and World history, geography, political science, economics and sociology. To ensure you get breadth while still specializing, we require social science courses, American or European history courses, and global courses, which may be in history or social science. In addition, you’ll take several general education courses, including Instructional Technology, to prepare you for teaching. A Social Studies methods course covers techniques for teaching social studies in high school.
