About the Program

The B.S. in Social Science Education* program is designed to prepare students to meet Florida teacher certification requirements and to become highly competent secondary teachers. Graduates receive a B.S. in Social Science Education and are eligible for certification in Social Science Education (grades 6-12) from the State of Florida.

The program strives to prepare creative and resourceful social science teachers for middle and high schools. It effectively combines coursework and extensive field experiences in secondary school settings to enable students to integrate theory with teaching practice.  USF Sarasota-Manatee's program offers upper-division courses and the majority of our students complete the freshman and sophomore years of the program at local community colleges. Students attending a Florida public community college should complete the Associate of Arts degree and state-mandated program prerequisites as part of the A.A. coursework.

*This is a partial degree program; completion will require coursework to be taken at another USF campus.  Also, students may choose to earn a B.A. in Social Science Education by completing additional graduation requirements (foreign language and exit courses); please see an academic advisor for details.
