The History major requires 9 hours in a single foreign language, but majors seeking the Dual Major of B.A. in History & the B.S.E.D. in Sec. Education can use EDUC 2120 in place of Foreign Language 2001 as well as EDUC 2130 & SPEC 2000 in the Core Field of Study. The Dual Major of the B.A. in History & the B.S.E.D. in Secondary Education can be earned at 126 hours as long as participants take their 1st foreign language in Humanities as well as History 1011 & 1012 in Social Sciences, otherwise attaining the dual major will require more than 126 hours. Any dual major who is not accepted to the B.S.E.D. program, or if accepted, fails to meet various B.S.E.D. requirements, reverts back to all requirements of B.A. DEGREE in HISTORY. (See )
If you're interested in this Dual Degree program, we also have the B.S.Ed in Secondary Education program with a concentration in History. Feel free to compare and find which one is right for you.
