HISTORY/CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION CERTIFICATION

BARRY A. JACKISCH, Ph.D., Program Director

Students majoring in History/Citizenship Education qualify for Teacher Certification in Citizenship Education/Secondary Education; and Plan B: a B.A. in Social Science without education courses. Students selecting Plan B need not take courses in Education. Students study broadly in the fields of history, political science, geography, and economics.

Aims and Objectives:
The objectives of the program are: (1) to give the students an opportunity to become broadly educated in the fields of history, political science, geography, and economics; and (2) to provide a program of teacher education which promotes growth, development, attitude and expertise for successful teaching.

Students who wish to prepare themselves as secondary social studies teachers must make formal application for admission to the teacher education program through the School of Education. For a detailed explanation of all requirements refer to the catalog portion under Education.

The Gannon University Duquesne School of Law, 3+3 Early Admissions Program has been designed for qualified students to earn an undergraduate and a law degree in six years rather than seven. Under the early admissions program students may receive a Bachelors Degree in Social Studies after three years of undergraduate work and the successful completion of the first year of full time study at the Duquesne School of Law. The student would then receive their Law Degree after successful completion of the second year at Duquesne School of Law. Qualified students may wish to pursue this option.
