What our students say about the Social Studies Education program
“The Social Studies Education program has truly changed my perspective on history and social studies. There’s something that I’ve been able to take away from each class I’ve taken, and it’s everything I’ve wanted in a learning environment, which is a small classroom size with professors who will push you and change your perspective on things.”
