Bachelor of Science - History - Education

The History education program prepares students who want to teach social studies at the middle and high school levels. Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Science with a Major in History and Emphasis in History/Government Education and who pass the state teaching exams are licensed to teach History, Government, Geography, Economics, and Psychology.

Graduates of this program have the benefit of a strong education in History and Political Science, which means they have the ability to find and analyze evidence, present an argument, impeach competing arguments, and coherently present the results of their research in both speaking and writing. Past Pittsburg State University History/Government graduates have secured employment in education, law enforcement, business, and government. Others have gone on to do graduate studies in Law, Political Science, and History.
