Education: Broad Field Social Studies

Broad field social studies is a major area of study for students seeking Wisconsin Department of Instruction certification in social studies education. Broad field social studies consists of a major in either history or social science, with additional coursework in social studies. This provides the teacher education student with multiple endorsements and areas of teaching specialty.

Students earning a bachelor's degree with the intention of seeking state certification take secondary education as a support area in conjunction with the broad field social studies major. Students who already have a major in history or social science may add this area through additional study.

Additional coursework would include courses in psychology, economics, history, and social science.
