HISTORY/SOCIAL STUDIES CERTIFICATION
ROBERT H. ALLSHOUSE, Ph.D., Program Director
Students majoring in History/Social Studies qualify for Teacher Certification in Social
Studies/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, economics, sociology, anthropology, and
psychology.
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.
