The History/Social Studies Education program at Ball State prepares teachers to pursue a rewarding career in which they will engage students in discipline-based inquiry, equipping them to become future leaders and national and global citizens. Students need the intellectual power to recognize societal problems; ask good questions; consider possible solutions and consequences; separate evidence-based claims from partisan opinions; and communicate and act upon what they learn. Graduates of the History Department’s teacher education program construct classroom experiences that make these ways of thinking possible. Teaching candidates complete 54 hours in history and the social sciences and 42 hours in professional education coursework/field experiences in order to prepare them to work with diverse learners in various school settings. Ball State University has been preparing history/social studies teachers for successful careers for a century. The History Department cooperates with our colleagues in Teachers College and elsewhere in the College of Sciences and Humanities and the Miller College of Business in this endeavor.
