About the Program

 
History majors with a Secondary Education concentration may wish to obtain certification to teach history/social studies at the secondary level. Upon graduation and completion of Maryland State Department of Education content test requirements, students in the Secondary Education Program are eligible to apply for certification by the Maryland State Department of Education. Please visit the Department of Secondary and Middle School Education catalog page for admission requirements. 

Students who decide not to complete all secondary education requirements must either complete the standard History major or select and complete a different major in order to graduate. 

Minimum requirements for admission into teacher education programs, maintaining candidate status and formal entry into the capstone internship are outlined on the Standards for Teacher Education page in the Undergraduate Catalog.
