The social science education department at North Dakota State
University tells it straight out to their students or
potential students on their website:
Certification
Upon completing this program, students are eligible for
certification to teach social science in most states. The
program is accredited by the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education.
Career Opportunities
There has been a surplus of social science teachers across the
country for the past several years. It has been predicted that
the surplus will continue. Students who elect to major in
social science education should consider obtaining a second
major or a teachable minor to enhance their employment
prospects. In addition, students in social science education
are encouraged to seek volunteer and employment experiences
that complement their education. Summer or after-school work
with special needs students, high school or middle school
student activities, or other human service activities can
provide the candidate valuable experience with children and
adolescents.
