Your Future in Social Studies Education

Social studies education is for students who would like to teach social studies (history, economics, government, law, etc.) in grades 9 – 12. Students receive practical information, strategies and experiences which will contribute to their success in the high school education field. The Bachelor of Science in social studies education at Charleston Southern University is unique in that we offer clinical field experiences in every education class through partnerships with Charleston County, Dorchester II and Berkeley County boards of education and more. Students receive a wide range of field experiences to prepare them for different school environments. CSU education graduates are highly sought out for job openings, and many of our first year graduates are named Rookie of the Year in their schools. All education instructors have a wealth of experience in their prospective areas and build close relationships with students.
